Easy Pex Pipe Water Shut Off Valve Installation
What happens here
The host identifies the 3/8-inch PEX pipe that needs to be cut for the dishwasher connection. He notes that this is Type B PEX, which uses stainless steel crimp rings. He spreads a purple towel under the pipe to catch any residual water. He identifies a clear, un-nicked section of the pipe for the cut, leaving enough length for potential future repairs.
Goal: Identify the correct PEX line, prepare the area, and mark the cut location.
