The final step involves using a pair of household channel lock pliers, described humorously as a "very expensive install tool," to close the PEXLOCK clamp around the fitting and pipe. The process is complete when an audible "click" is heard, which signifies that the clamp has securely locked into place, creating a watertight seal.
