PEX is a very forgiving product in many aspects, somewhat imperfect crimps being one. The crimps while not perfect should be OK. I always like to pressure test if possible but sometimes ya just gotta test in production. You have good coverage on the barb so that's another plus. Make sure...

What you got there is also know as British Standard Pipe thread. BSP is differs from NPT (National Pipe Thread) in that the pitch of the groves is different. While it is possible to mix and match NPT and BSP in most applications if the right amount of dope is used, I would tend not to...
