Crimping PEX is a crucial step in plumbing, allowing for secure and leak-proof connections between PEX tubing and fittings. It involves using a specialized tool called a PEX crimping tool to compress a metal ring (crimp ring) around the PEX tubing and fitting, creating a permanent and reliable joint.
