Trying to get water supply from a place where a sink used to be

[Betweenmatt]

Hey! I've recently moved into this mobile home, and in the home is a bathroom that has had all its utilities removed a while before we moved in. Now I am trying to tap into the water supply that used to be for the sink, and I'm pretty much clueless lol. I've attached a couple images to show you the tubing and the connectors on the ends of them. I know one is hot water and one is cold, I only need the cold. Is there a connector I can get at home depot that I can just screw on to get to the water?

Fyi: I'm turning the bathroom into a washout room for screen printing, so the water will be to source a pressure washer.

Thank you for your help!

What you have there is polybutylene tubing.
That was a big Shell Oil product failure.

Sharkbite and John Guest fitting can be used on it .
That is most likely 5/8" O.D.tubing. It is the same size as 1/2" copper pipe ( 5/8" OD tubing )

polybutelyne od is slightly bigger than copper tube size. They can be used but that stuff is not good.

polybutelyne od is slightly bigger than copper tube size.

Slightly? Cold water shrinkage?

What I have seen pulled out of some of the trailers in my area yes. I just call it as I see it.Doesn't negate the fact the crap is junk. Not even shark bite will warranty it's fittings for it's use. But they will for everything else.

I owned a trailer years ago that i rented out. We were contacted by someone about the lawsuit. They paid a company to run new pex in place of that. We had 2 fittings blow apart the 3 years i rented that thing out. I believe if you can find it Vanguard compression fittings work on that old plastic pipe

There is a PEX crimp coupling that goes from POLY to PEX. From PEX.

I don't disagree on the fact that polybutylene is crap.
I see a lot of opinions regarding Sharkbite fittings being crap as well.
To be honest I have never used one. I see them now and then where others have used them. I have never had to remove one because it failed.

I do use the John Guest fittings when I have to make a repair to a leaking PB system. I never guarantee that that repair. I always recommend re-piping the system.
