5 Pcs 1/2 Pex x 1/2 Male NPT Adapter, Black Poly Alloy Plastic - Crimp Pex B

Types of PEX Fittings:

Crimp Fittings: The most common type of PEX fittings, crimp fittings require a crimp tool to compress a metal ring (crimp ring) around the PEX pipe and fitting for a secure connection.

Push-Fit Fittings: Also known as push-to-connect or quick-connect fittings, these fittings do not require any special tools. They have a ring inside that securely grips the PEX pipe when pushed together.

Compression Fittings: These fittings use compression nuts and rings to create a watertight seal and are often used for repairs or when transitioning between PEX and other types of pipes.

Expansion Fittings: With the use of a specialized tool, expansion fittings expand the PEX pipe to allow the fitting to slide inside. When the pipe returns to its original size, a tight seal is created around the fitting.
