into PEX(3/4”), with cpvc. I don’t have a pex crimper, or any pex tools for that matter. Never worked with pex before. This will be a hot water extension from bathroom supply to laundry room. Or, would I be better off using pex, and getting the crimping tool, and stuff. The pex in the home is the blue(cold) and red(hot) TIA. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

Shark bite fitting will easily connect the 2 . Be sure and use the plastic insert that comes with the fitting on the pex side . You don't need it on the pvc side. ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

forget the CPVC... nothing but problems when it get OLD and BRITTLE, or froze... the PEX works great... I have a crimper and go that route.. Have used a couple shark bits and they are easy.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
