What happens here

New water supply lines are installed using PEX tubing. The presenter uses half-inch PEX tubing (blue for cold, red for hot). The PEX lines are cut to length, brass PEX adapters are inserted, and copper crimp rings are placed over the connection. A PEX crimping tool is then used to securely crimp the rings, creating a watertight and durable connection. The PEX lines are run horizontally within the wooden frame, with a main valve turned off to prevent water leaks during installation. PEX is chosen for its flexibility and ease of installation compared to traditional copper piping.

Goal: PEX water supply lines (red for hot, blue for cold) are run through the wooden frame and secured using crimp connections and a PEX crimping tool.
