white pipe fittings.jpg
Can one of you guys tell me what type of fittings these are? It is just a piece of scrap I picked up.. Are they a push loc type fitting? Are they considered pex fittings.. If they are pex type I think a special tool is required. It looks like it works with 1/2'' copper pipe as well as 1/2'' plastic pipe. Thanks for any info.
Also have them in my basement and it does say pex on them lol.20240826_181656.jpg
Did not realize pex came in clear color pipe.. So special tool needed for install and not push to fit?
Correct, PEX type A or aquapex. Did my house with it, good stuff. Keep the white pipe out of the sun. The manual expanders start at around $70 on amazon.
Thank you for the reply Tom.. I just watched a few quick videos on pex type A.. I can now see why they are now often used.. Quick, clean and easy.. When I first saw these new fitting types become popular they were pretty expensive, so looked into it no further.. I am still a solder and torch user.. Takes to much time and is a mess to use. But this stuff is much quicker.. Thanks again..
