Yes, you can use this coupling on Pex A. The diameters do not change.
not that i know of, they do not provide us with that info.
This fitting is approved for direct burial and it is compatible with Uponor AquaPEX tubing. AquaPEX tubing carries the PEX-A grade. This makes it compatible with expansion-type fittings, but it still also works with crimp fittings and other standard styles of PEX adapters.
I would imagine that the coupling itself would be OK underground (unless freezing is an issue) since it resides inside the tubing, but I would be more concerned that the clamps used (outside of the tubing) to secure the tubing would be exposed and could corrode over time, hence allowing a leak. I'd coat the whole area with some sort of really good waterproofing/caulking to prevent moisture from getting at the clamps.
1" crimp couplings have a 3/4" inside diameter.
the inside diameter of 1" pex tubing is slightly less than 7/8", so the coupling ID is smaller than that
If you need to connect two pieces of PEX-AL-PEX together with compression fittings, you can use either two D4120500 fittings and an A4322020 nipple, or two PAP-0500M fittings and a TB1-08 coupling. You can embed either set of fittings in concrete, but it is best to minimize the amount of embedded fittings to reduce the potential for leaks and preserve the structural integrity of the slab.
The Rifeng brass PEX fittings work with any brand of standard PEX tubing, including Wirsbo's hePEX and AquaPEX. The fittings require copper crimp rings or stainless steel clamp rings, in addition to a proper tool.
I can't remember what couplings I used (whether rifeng or not). I put in a system using slant fin multi pack with Uponor Wirsbo pex. I used the brass crimping rings with a zurn crimper. Its been two years and no problems.
Yes, they are.
This fitting is designed for use with PEX only.
Yes - this 3/8" x 3/8" coupling, along with the 3/8" crimp rings and crimp tool you mentioned, can help you repair a 3/8" PEX line.
With PEX-AL-PEX, you must use compression style fittings. You can make the repair using 2 D4120500 fitting assemblies and a A4322020 coupling nipple.
