Replacement valve for PEX.
I replaced both my kitchen and vanity faucets before opening the camper for the season. To make it easier,I installed Sharkbite push to connect valves in the lines in the kitchen and vanity sinks. EZ hookup.

There you go!
Good job!
Out of curiosity, what was wrong with the originals?

Pex tubing hooked up straight to the faucets. Wanted to add shutoff at the faucets.

I think I will look for some tomorrow at HD. I also want to add valves for freshwater and low point pexs. Right now everything is just capped.

Used Sharkbite PEX boiler drains on low point drains.can also use as garden hose hookup. This season need to pop rivit cover around valves.

I got lucky as my low point drains run thru a storage compartment I was able to use some brass pex ball valves and I installed them in there.

Maybe they were under my nose but I didn’t see any PEX tubes other than long rolls at HD and Lowes. The two guys I asked were not familiar with PEX.
Do they sell shorter lengths of PEX for repairs or alterations? I don’t need a 100 feet.

I have bought five foot lengths of PEX at both Home Depot and Lowes. Also at Tractor Supply. If the guys you asked were employees in that section and they did not know about PEX they should be working in another department in MHO.

Thanks, now I know. It seemed strange. It is often hard to find an employee in these places, especially one that is knowledgeable.

How Lucky am I...
I was just working on the trailer today, and wondering what I could do to eliminate the caps on the low point and fresh tank drains.... Thanks for the valve pictures, GREAT IDEA!

Yeah that reminds me. I was in the HD in Annapolis and it was well staffed and the employees were very helpful and knowledgeable . I remember being amazed at the difference. Same thing for the Best Buy down there.
