Hi,
I'm in the process of remodeling my master bathroom and I've decided to go with PEX. I've read some good things about PEX, but I know that there are a lot of different brands out there and many aren't compatible with each other. I mainly shop at Lowe's and Home Depot, so chances are all my fittings will come from one of those two stores. So, I've narrowed down my crimp tool to two options (both do 3/8, ½, 5/8, and ¾):
So, my questions are:
What are the best brand of fittings to buy (And, is Zurn a reliable brand)?
What multi-size PEX crimp tools are compatible with the most PEX brands?
I've been writing to the tool distributors and they all give me the same old line, "just buy the same brand tool and fittings." Well, it's not always easy to get the same brand fitting every time so I'd like to buy tools and brands that are as compatible as possible.
Thanks for your help!
