The grey pipe is called poly butylene and is no longer used. As you pointed out there are crimp couplings that will transition from poly b to pex and once you have it into pex you cost of the 90’s and tees is much cheaper than. If you have a lot of poly b to replace buy yourself a crimp tool and do all your repairs with that as it will be cheaper and more reliable than shark bite. Shark bites are a great thing for a small job like this but don’t be re piping your house with them!
@@gabrielacuna5981 and @crazycanucknation what if you wanted to do change everything over to pex but don't want to pay almost $7000 for a company to do it, what is your recommendation.
Tha Gabriel for this video now I know what's the reason that I can't fixed my leak I have the wrong fitting it's gray with gray in need to get brown with gray thanks again
It will feel the same as when you put in the pex. It should not wiggle. It does take some strength to push it in, but you should be able to feel when it is in all the way.
Replaced faucet. I credit you for my confidence. You are a true gentleman and a role model!
You got this!

Yes that’s correct. You’re welcome
Well Done
Thank you
You didn't show putting the shit in! That's the part I needed to see! How did you know if it was pushed in all the way with no wiggle room!!!

They probably failed because there's zero insulation on any of the pipes.
That’s right. They need to redo all the insulation
My husband did what you did but there's no water coming up to my toilet do you now why I'm not getting any water .
@Gabrielhandmanprojects
There’s probably a leak somewhere else. Make sure the water is on also.
