What happens here

Half-inch PEX tubing (blue for cold, red for hot) is used for the water supply lines. Existing water lines are tied into using T-connections. A PEX crimping tool is essential for creating watertight connections with brass fittings and copper crimp rings. The process involves cutting the PEX, inserting a brass fitting, sliding a copper crimp ring over the joint, and then crimping it securely. An accessory water line that was never used is capped off with a plug and crimp ring. For the pot filler, copper PEX adapters are used to create the connection points, secured with a bracket to the wooden frame, ensuring the connection is flush with the drywall surface for a clean installation.

Goal: Run PEX lines for hot and cold water supply, including connections for the sink faucet and a new pot filler, using a crimping tool for secure connections.
