Replacing Water Line Connection (with pics)
If needed replacement: what type water supply line is it {PEX}, and what diameter parts and procedure is required to do so? I realize it has the crimping connection in place. Are there alternatives to...
Forum Discussion
THat type of crimp removes easily with a dremel.. but be very careful The "Tab" is what I'd cut off then pry it off. Try not to damage the line.
And when it comes to replacement
When the shark bites
into Pex Dear
Water leaks
Go away
When the shark bites
into pex dear
Connections rule the day
Sharkbite connections are my choce though there is another that works well too
A plastic thing you can get at a RV store (you might need a tool to slightly flare the pex.
YOu slip nut over the pex
Then slightly flare the end
Slip this plastic thimajig into it till the pex is down past the "Teeth"
hand tighten the nut (Forces teh teeth to grip the pex
Very solid
