They are crimp type connections. The following illustration shows a PEX to compression Supply Stop. This Supply Stop serves two purposes, to tie in the existing fixture to the new PEX lines and to serve as a shutoff for service. Compression connections use the O.D. (Outside Diameter) measurement standard.Kitchen sink faucets typically have braided metal flexible connectors that hang down as opposed to the way bathroom sink faucets connect to FIP right on the fixture. These flexible connectors have the O.D. style connector for you to connect to your stop valve or directly to the plumbing. Stop valves are traditionally used, but with PEX installations with a manifold and dedicated supply lines, the local stop valves are not necessary.Kitchen sink faucets typically have braided metal flexible connectors that hang down as opposed to the way bathroom sink faucets connect to FIP right on the fixture.
