1/2 pex
« on: September 22, 2015, 01:38:19 PM »
Hello all.
Is it possible to connect 1/2 uponor pex to another brand?
If so what's the best connector to use?
Thanks.

Yes, it is. If the other brand is PEX A you can use expansion fittings. Otherwise if it is PEX B or PEX C you can use crimp fittings or sharkbite.

You could probably use the expansion fittings on the B or C also but they are not approved for it. I have seen it done without a problem though.
