Comment on What kind of valve is this exactly? Never seen that exact connection type
mortrek@lemmy.ml 5 months agoThe house was built 7 years ago, so maybe the plumbers just threw on whatever they had in their van. Do you know what the crimped method/area is called on this thing? Is there a specific term for it?

They’re usually just called “crimp rings” or “cinch clamps”, the former being the more popular term in my experience. They do require a specific crimping tool, but if you go to your local home improvement store they usually sell a kit that includes the tool with rings, and possibly even a PEX cutter.
