No, they are yellow brass C46500.
Yes, PEX crimp fittings are compatible with any brand of standard PEX tubing.
Yes. Dan
Yes you can Samuel, A couple of years ago while running short of "Uponor" 1/2" Pex tubing, I bought from Home Depot a 10ft length of Shark Bite to finish the job. It works perfectly. (I prefer the Uponor brand, it is more flexible and looks better) Glad I can help. Gilbert Baures. Portland Oregon.
As long as it's 1/2" pex pipe you can. The brand should not matter. Jay Clark
Yes all PEX tubing is universal. Doesn't matter what the name brand is.
PEX tubing has a smaller inside diameter than copper, but it can often make up for any flow reductions because of the smoothness of the pipe and the fact that fewer fittings are normally required. A few fittings here and there likely would not have any noticeable impact on flow, but we would advise that you take advantage of PEX's flexibility and avoid fittings whenever you can.
Will have little effect if any, look at Bernoulli's equation Small restriction will have fast velocity.
I am not a plumber, just a DIY guy. I have never noticed any change in flow between 1" copper versus 1" Pex; they should flow about the same if both 1", thanks - Ed
Yes, you can.
The minimum bend radius of any PEX is 6 times the outside diameter.
The 1/2" x 1/2" elbow is equivalent to 1.55 feet of PEX.
This fitting does not work with PEX-AL-PEX tubing. You can use MP859 or the MultiPress fitting system which will require a MultiPress tool. Take a look at this link: http://www.pexsupply.com/Multipress-MLC-PEX-AL-PEX-Fittings-1533000
No, you cannot use the ProPEX ring with this elbow. This elbow must be used with one of the crimp or clamp tools. Here is an elbow that will work with the ProPEX system: http://www.pexsupply.com/Wirsbo-Uponor-Q4760500-ProPEX-EP-Elbow-1-2-PEX-x-1-2-PEX-2316000-p
