What happens here

This project provides a rapid and effective method for repairing a leaking PEX pipe, such as one with a pinhole, using a Pexlock coupling kit. The process involves identifying the leak, shutting off the water, cutting out the damaged section, installing the new coupling and clamps, securing them with pliers, and finally, restoring water pressure to test the repair.

Just able to pop that in place. Here's these are channel lock 440s. Hear that click. Where I will turn that water back on and we're back in business. That was fast.
