How to Install PEX Pipe: Easy DIY Tutorial for Beginners | Step-by-Step Guide

In this video, I show how to install PEX pipe. I show the pex installation for a bathroom sink, toilet, and an outdoor kitchen. I show the use of sharkbite fitting for pressure testing the plumbing. I briefly explain the difference between pex type a and pex type B. This video is using pex type B that requires the use of crimp rings and a crimping tool. I go into detail on how to connect the pex pipe into existing water lines, and how to install a sillcock to pex. Enjoy! #plumbing #diy #tutorial #construction

Clear and concise video. Great attention to detail. I am about to install some water purification systems in my home - replacing a 20 year old system and this video gave me all the information and pointers I needed to feel confident in my plumbing project. 👍👍

You have been a godsend, Josh! There is not much out there on PEX, including books. I've been afraid to make the switch from copper. But your videos are so well done! What I love is that you include ALL relevant info including sizes types for everything but it's quick and concise so I feel like every minute I watch, I'm learning. I find myself skipping through very little.

Thank you so much for the great video. Currently working on changing out some PVC piping with plastic valves at my mother-in-laws bc the were leaking and this video helped understand plumbing so much better. I always enjoyed the home improvement shows when I was younger, so maybe I'll learn to replace the bathtub next as well if this doesn't become the bane of my existence. lol

Excellent video. Helped me, thank you

It's always interesting to see this done. I'm so used to using copper and sweating everything together. We don't have codes that say you have to use pex. Great job Josh with all your explanations. 🔨👍🏻

Good work. I need to tee into a 1/2 inch pex line going to an outside faucet to supply water to a pressure washer mounted on the wall in my garage. I was going to use sharkbite push lock fittings but now i may use crimp ring fittings

[jimbetzing]

Good video! Im about to relocate a bathroom/laundry room. The last big plumbing project i did, CPVC was the diy'ers friend. Gonna go with Pex A, i think. My old house has galvanized pipe, might just do a "repipe" while im at it.

[charlesespinoza]

Hey Josh. Great video! Do you have a video of installing the valves that go under the sink and the toilet valve? Thank you

Very nice video. I am about to use pex for the first time and thanks for your videos. I am putting in a sill cock for a garden and will tie into existing PEX before the softener in my pump house. Thanks again.
