PEX for the DIY'er

[Dave]

You will also need a tube cutter to cut the pex.

What I found to work well is using a standard copper tubing cutter, to make a nicely cut "groove", and then I completed the cut with a hacksaw.

I suppose I'll have to drop the $80 for that crimper as well and be done with it.

When they plumbed my well, I watched the guy cut a clamp off with just a hacksaw. He cut until just before breaking through, so he could snap it apart with a screwdriver. Saved the fitting, too.

Thanks for the info.
