What happens here
After routing the cold water lines, the plumber repeats the process for the hot water supply, running red PEX tubing through the wall studs, parallel to or in close proximity to the cold lines. Once both hot and cold lines are in position, the plumber begins making connections using various PEX fittings (like tees or elbows) and a PEX crimping tool to secure the connections. He also uses a PEX cutter to precisely size the lengths of tubing.
Goal: Route hot water lines and establish initial PEX connections
