Learn how to install PEX on a pipe stub out.

I replaced a bad section of pipe about a year ago and used PEX and those
"Sharkbite" fittings...the PEX pushed right in.


The clerk is an idiot and if the stuff does not push right in he must
have sold you something defective.


I bought my house "as is" years ago. Didn't know squat about PEX. It
was a short lesson. Didn't even know I had PEX.

Made two changes in a bath remodel. Still never had a leak.

OP needs to research PEX an attaching it to lines or fittings,
