What happens here
Begin installing the new PEX water supply lines. Use 3/4-inch PEX for the main supply line to ensure optimal water flow throughout the house, and branch off to 1/2-inch PEX for individual fixtures (sinks, toilets, showers). Use a PEX crimping tool to secure connections and ensure leak-free joints. Drill appropriately sized holes in wooden joists for the PEX lines, keeping in mind PEX expansion. Properly route the PEX lines, ensuring they are not kinked and are secured with appropriate hangers or clamps. This step covers the installation for the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry areas.
Goal: Install the new PEX water supply lines, running 3/4-inch PEX for main feeds and 1/2-inch PEX for fixtures, using a crimping tool for secure connections.
