Pesky Drip

At least they're the better copper crimps and not the failure prone aluminum type.

I have to agree with Old Biscuit on this one. There's no other reason to have all of those fittings there otherwise; a 90-degree pex crimp and a longer piece of pex would have sufficed.

I know the cracks.....replacing the shower faucet because it is cracked....they rush to put stuff together and break things in the process. Luckily, I found the exact item on Amazon.

Due to 'red' PEX pipe I suspect that is on the hot water system.
What is the pipe coming from or going to??

Look closely on black fitting---any directional arrows---indicating it is a 'check valve' which allows water to flow in only one direction.

Again.....what is piping coming from/to?? Water heater? Faucets? ????

All the piping is around the water heater. I can take another picture when I get home of the rest of the setup. It looks like the black item is on a loop by itself. I initially thought a one way check valve, but will verify a possible arrow this afternoon. Thanks.

I would cut the business out and replace with sharkbite/gatorbite fittings and new pex as needed.
Home Depot or Lowes has everything.

A fitting?
