Installing Pex Water Main Line...Part 2

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

With the water supply off and pressure relieved, use PEX cutters to make a clean cut on the existing PEX pipe where it connects to the water meter. The video shows cutting the PEX and then gently wiggling or bending the cut piece to separate it from the fitting, allowing any trapped water to drain. Remove the severed piece of PEX tubing.

Goal: Carefully cut the existing PEX pipe that connects to the water meter and remove the old section.
