What happens here

Take the 1/2-inch PEX A ball valve. Using the PEX expander tool, expand one end of a cut PEX A pipe segment and firmly push it onto one PEX connection of the ball valve. Repeat this process for the second PEX A pipe segment, connecting it to the other PEX connection of the ball valve. This creates a complete PEX pipe-ball valve-PEX pipe assembly that will be installed into the main line.

Goal: Create the middle assembly of PEX pipe and ball valve

Tools and materials

  • 1/2-inch PEX A ball valve — Providing a shutoff point in the plumbing line
  • PEX A pipe segments — Connecting the ball valve to the main adapters
  • PEX expander tool Milwaukee — Expanding the PEX A pipe for connection to the ball valve
