I've mentioned this before on some other thread, but I had some friends help me replace freeze-busted copper piping with PEX. I guess we used shark bites, they are screw-in connectors. I did the cuts with a saw that had an arm that you drop down by hand. Onyx told me the name but I forgot. So what's the crimper?
The PEX runs through a cabinet to the outside of the inside walls in the bathroom, to prevent future freezing.
I still haven't fixed the plumbing under my kitchen, it's still leaking.
There are fittings, rings and pipe. You push the fitting (elbow, tee, whatever) into the pipe and then crimp a ring over the pipe at the fitting. That's the connection done.
Shark-bites are press-on connectors, also a wonder of the modern world of plumbing.
