Hi, I am trying to figure out from all the past posts what is the best and most reliable method of connecting PEX. There are a lot of opinions.
I have used sharkbite push connectors to which I have access. I also have used the Cinch stainless steel connectors behind walls. I am about to do some work around my well tank, with some 1 Inch pipe, so want to pick up what I need
I see Push connectors, Cinch rings, Clamp rings, Sleeve and Expand rings. What should I be using for reliability? I can buy whatever tool I need.
In addition to this, I believe my house is plumbed with PEX B - I cannot see it labeled as such, but it does say the max pressure is 100 PSI, I believe Pex A is 500? This pex is 12 years old. Should I continue with this PEX B for consistency, or change any new work to PEX A? or can I mix and match
Naturally, I want to use one type of connection method going forward
Thanks for your input
