For inside pipe fittings, you must increase one pipe size diameter that you would of used for copper pipes.

@@TheGuruStud from all your years of experience right? What's the inside diameter of a 1/2 inch PEX Cinch on 90'?

Great video Just not clear when you use 1/2 inch pex pipe and when 3/4 inch pex pipe is required. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Excellent video. Can you make a video explaining how to remove crimped metal PEX fitting and replacing all the fittings with poly without cutting the PEX on each side of the fitting. I am afraid if I cut the PEX as in this video that eventually the water lines will be too short Thanks in advance ( or refer me to another resource)

Just use a connector to extend the pipe. Don't reuse the PEX that was over a previous fitting.

Do you go one size larger to make up for loss pressure due to fittings being inside of pex?

No, the size on the packaging matches the size of pipe you are using. If you are using 3/4" pipe, please use 3/4" fittings.

Copper vs PEX A vs PEX B flow drop at then end? B fittings with A tubing with a crimp is what some use with no substantial drop for example.

The crimping tool for sleeves have a wrong description on the manual for the “go and no go “ if we listen to this guy here

Pex is not high density polyethylene. It’s cross linked.

I will use copper pipe thank you.

Hi! Thanks

Apollo is trying sell pipes or tools? lol.

Pex B is fake! PEX is a polyethylene material which has undergone a change in molecular structure using a chemical or a physical process whereby the polymer chains are chemically linked. Crosslinking of the polymer chains of polyethylene (HDPE) into PEX for pipes results in improved properties such as elevated temperature strength and performance, flexibility, chemical resistance, environmental stress crack resistance (ESCR), resistance to slow crack growth (SCG), toughness, and abrasion. Crosslinking makes PEX a "semi-thermoset" polymer, providing excellent long-term stability.

Pvc is always a better and cheaper solution..😓

Best way to conserve water.

can you show how each fastner is the same but just looks different? wonder why pinch clamps are banned in many countries/jurisdictions? your sharbite removal tool is a scam. your manifold having plastic connection are prone to leak like all plastic threaded materials. the use of tape to prevent leaks is no even a thing, thats bad threads or bad joint, if your solving that by tape your just bandaiding the problem. thats also why you dont have plastic to plastic or plastic to metal thread connections.

which is why its useless is typical situations, threads seal the joint with help of lubricant. tape should not be relyed on to seal any joint, its a backup in bad situations. it also gets debree into systems because people over use it. it voids manufacture specs with some devices. refridge especially @@tehpurplepills
