     It's a PEX pipe. A lot of new housing uses it over copper. I really wonder about the long term integrity of that stuff. My house has a mix of original copper and PEX the previous owner used in some remodeling.

     @PNS Is there a reason not to use padded vicegrips or something to temporarily crimp the line so water doesn't spray everywhere? Not sure what material that hose is, but it looks flexible enough to use that trick on it.

     Yea I'm thankful I got an older house. The only pex I've seen was on the shower which was remodeled by the previous owner. Under the house, everything looks copper. Although it's hard to tell for sure, going all the way up to the actual sink valves.
