I'm installing a water softener in the garage. The house is plumbed with PEX pipe and crimped fittings. Here is my question:
I bought pex fittings and rings from pexsupply and figured I would just rent the crimper and buy the pipe locally. Is this a bad idea? Do I need to use the same brand tool, rings, and fittings? I don't want any leaks down the road, but at least this will only be in my garage. Any advice is much appreciated.
