What happens here

After cutting the PEX pipe, the host slides a PEX crimp ring onto the cut end, ensuring it's positioned correctly. He then pushes the pre-assembled male adapter and straight stop valve onto the PEX pipe, making sure the pipe is fully seated into the fitting. He emphasizes leaving a small gap (between 1/8 to 1/4 inch) between the crimp ring and the end of the fitting, and ensuring the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting. Using the Apollo PEX crimping tool, he positions it over the crimp ring and squeezes the handles until the blue indicator on the tool pops out, signifying a complete crimp. He demonstrates this for one side of the angle stop.

Goal: Securely attach the angle stop assembly to the PEX pipe.

It's going to go ahead and just pop that fitting right on there. And so now that that's good there, that's the one nice thing about pecs too, that even if it was, there's a little bit of water there dripping. It's not that big of a deal. Now when you do this, you want to make sure that you give yourself a little space here between eight to a quarter inch. You want to make sure that you can see some pipe coming off that. So you want to make sure that this fitting is pushed all the way in there. And you want to make sure that you have a little bit of gap right there. So I'll just get this to where you can see the indicator light crimping it in. And bam, it's nice that you can do that with one hand. As soon as you see that blue, you're good to go. And I actually felt it crimping pretty good as I roll it. And you can see right there, we zoom in, that is crimped for sure. And so now those guys are going to be able to hook this up tomorrow. They'll be able to take out that old dishwasher because now we have an angle stop. Okay, so then we're going to go ahead. We're going to
