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.

I agree it's an odd looking crimp, maybe just an older style of what we have today. I'd guess that's the least likely thing to leak.

Best case scenario the dishwasher line just needs to be tightened. Worst case you can replace the whole thing with a sharkbite type valve, but you'll probably need to cut back the previously crimped section of PEX (note: I really have no clue about that).
