Rigging a Pex Shut Off to work with a flexible Supply Hose

Have you ever installed a shut off under a sink? It's not fun. The angle is painful, and the supply lines probably aren't aligned with the faucet supply lines. Pex Pipe is not flexible over short distances.

You have a spark of inspiration, and decide to use a flexible 1/2" hose to bridge the gap...and then find 

out that you can't hook the flexible hose to the pex shut off.

What do you do? It just won't fit. Look at the picture below. Cut the nipple off at the black line with a hacksaw. Clear any sheared plastic bits, and apply a layer or two of teflon tape! 

And there you have it. A Pex Shut Off working with a female flexible hose!
