2 Pieces Transition Coupling for 1/2 Pex x 1/2 CPVC, Pex B Crimp Version

Types of PEX Fittings

There are various types of PEX fittings available for different plumbing needs. The most common types include:

1. Crimp Fittings: These fittings require a crimp tool to compress a metal ring around the PEX pipe and fitting for a secure connection.

2. Push-Fit Fittings: Also known as push-to-connect fittings, these don't require special tools and securely grip the PEX pipe when pushed together.

3. Compression Fittings: These fittings use compression nuts and rings to create a watertight seal, commonly used for repairs or transitioning between pipe types.

4. Expansion Fittings: These fittings require a specialized tool to expand the PEX pipe, allowing the fitting to slide inside and create a tight seal.

Different Types of PEX Fittings Available

• PEX Tee
• PEX Plug
• PEX Stub Out
• PEX Female Elbow
• Drop Ear PEX Elbow

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Pipe: Cut the PEX pipe to the required length using a PEX pipe cutter.
2. Deburr the Pipe: Remove any rough edges from the cut end of the pipe.
3. Insert the Fitting: Slide the crimp ring onto the pipe and insert the fitting.
4. Crimp the Ring: Use a crimp tool to compress the ring around the pipe and fitting.
5. Check the Connection: Ensure the connection is secure and properly crimped.
6. Pressure Test: Test the system for leaks by pressurizing it with air or water.
