Better Method For Replacing Pex Water Shutoff Valve Under Your Sink!

What happens here

Before installing the new angle stop, use a Go/No-Go gauge to ensure the cut PEX pipe is perfectly round. If it is, use a PEX expander tool (such as a Milwaukee M12 PEX expander) to expand the PEX pipe opening. Immediately, while the pipe is still expanded, firmly insert the prepared new angle stop with its male adapter into the PEX pipe until it is fully seated. The PEX will naturally shrink back, creating a strong, watertight connection around the fitting. Repeat this process for the second PEX pipe.

Goal: Securely attach the new PEX angle stops to the existing PEX pipes.
