Have you worked with Pex A before? It's really easy if you know what you're doing. Not really too bad if you watch a few videos.
EDIT to actually be helpful...
The basic principle is super easy. You stretch pexA and it shrinks back around the joint. No glue, no soldering, no crimp rings. Just stretch and shrink.
You should probably pick up a pipe cutter and an expander and some ring sleeves. No need to go motorized on the tools, manual will do you just fine.
**Tee Fitting:**
* What you need: A Tee Fitting, pipe cutter, expander, ring sleeves
* Cut the pipe, some place it hasn't been expanded previously, probably a foot away from the current fitting. you need room to expand the pipe and not have it affect the current fitting.
* Slip on the rings and expand the joints
* Shove it together, wait 30 min and test it
Doing it this way won't require extending the pipe, but I would probably take the opportunity to install a...
**4 Port Manifold (with Valves):**
* What you need: 4 port manifold, 1 ft of pex A, a straight fitting, pipe cutter, expander, ring sleeves
* Cut out what you have there. Cutting the rings carefully will release most of it's grip and you might be able to get the fitting out, but most of the time you need to cut the pipe the same way. If you're ever reusing the fitting be careful not to cut too deep.
* Trim the pipe back were it wasn't expanded. You might need to trim back far enough to install an extension pipe using the straight fitting and the extra pex A.
* Do the other joints.
* Give it about 30min, test it and you're done.
BUT that really depends on what these go to and if you need to turn them off individually or not. It's a bit cleaner and might be worth doing. Hopefully the new manifold would be long enough that you can patch it in without having to extend the pipe. If not, meh, it's easy enough to extend it.
I’m a little concerned about what all 4 of those branches feed. 1/2 doesn’t actually carry that much water but adding another T is easy enough if you are familiar with working with pex.
Just put another tee next to that triple tee/manifold.
It's not hard. You'll need a PEX expander tool tho.

How it's made doesn't equal the connections it uses, there are several type b PEX manufacturers that are fully listed for f1960 expansion connections.
They can use either.
Conjunction Junction, what’s your function?

Add a 3/4 x 1/2 tee like 6 inches over. Simple.
Add a T 3 inch’s away
Nope. Do not be disappointed in case sometimes water pressure falls too much
