Installing Pex Water Main Line...Part 2
What happens here
Secure the blue tracer wire by tying it to a stable part of the water meter connection within the meter box. This prevents the wire from being dislodged during backfilling and ensures it remains accessible for future needs. Double-check all connections, including the meter nuts, and use adjustable pliers to firmly tighten any that might have loosened during the process. The video shows tightening a leaking meter nut to stop the drip.
Goal: Tie off the tracer wire to the meter connection and re-tighten any loosened nuts, correcting any minor leaks.
