Is have been running PEX piping for years using brass fittings and occasionally copper PEX fittings if that's all that is available at in a certain fitting. I use PEX B and sometimes PEX A for certain situations. Haven't had any problems with it but the price is very high. And I'm looking to get my cost down.
I'm thinking about the possibility of switching over to poly PEX fittings. I'm just worried about them becoming brittle and cracking with time. The idea of flooding someone's home is unappealing for obvious reasons.
Can any of you share your experience with using poly PEX fittings? Are they just as reliable as brass? Have you read anything factual and the durability of poly fitting? I know people will have opinions, but only looking for facts from people who have experience with them or have read something factual about them. And no I'm not switching to Uponer, I prefer using PEX sleeves and feel they are very very reliable. Thanks
