What kind of valve is this exactly? Never seen that exact connection type (lemmy.ml)

I'm pretty new to this. I was considering replacing it with something else because it leaks slightly from the valve if it gets moved around at all, but I don't know what this connection is to start with. It goes to a dishwasher.

Yours has a different crimp style, but its a 1/4 turn shutoff valve with PEX crimp. Looks like standard builder quality.

Oh, that's a PEX crimp? Does it have a specific name? Most of the PEX crimps that I've found have looked very different.

The crimp style shouldn't matter. Use what you can get that fits 1/2" pex.
