Installing Pex Water Main Line...Part 2

What happens here

Carefully and slowly turn the main water shut-off valve at the meter back to the open position. This gradual opening helps to prevent water hammer and allows the system to repressurize without shock. Monitor all PEX connections for any signs of leaks. Confirm with someone inside the house that water flow has been restored, for instance, by checking a hose bib or faucet.

Goal: Slowly open the main water shut-off valve to restore water flow and check for any leaks at the newly installed connections.

Tools and materials

  • Adjustable Pliers/Wrench
