PEX Pipe Fittings
Designed to connect PEX tubing in a number of applications, PEX pipe fittings provide a cost-effective, flexible connection method that often outperforms traditional copper. We offer a variety of options in sizes, styles, and materials so you have a leak-free, labor-saving connection to suit any job.

More About PEX Fittings
Applications
PEX pipe fittings are utilized to make connections from PEX tubing to PEX tubing, PEX tubing to manifolds, PEX tubing to copper, PEX tubing to faucets & fixtures, and a variety of other applications. Fittings are commonly made of brass but are also available in plastic, bronze, and even stainless steel.
Advantages
Advantages of PEX fittings include their cost effectiveness, flexibility, and durability when compared to traditional copper fitting alternatives. Due to the flexibility of PEX, a standard installation will require less connections than if the same installation was performed using traditional copper pipe and fittings. Consequently, having fewer connection requirements means fewer fittings in the system with less leak potential and lower labor costs. PEX fittings are also compatible with our other PEX plumbing supplies.
Connection Methods
PEX plumbing fittings are available in many different connection methods which vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Each connection method may require a specific tool dedicated to completing a successful connection. Common connection methods include: Wirsbo Uponor ProPEX, crimp, clamp, Viega PEXPress, compression, push-fit connections, and F2080 expansion connections.
ProPEX Expander Fittings
ProPEX expander fittings are manufactured by Uponor (Wirsbo). ProPEX expander fittings require the Milwaukee ProPEX expander tool and a ProPEX ring to secure a successful connection. These fittings can only make connections in PEX-a tubing (Engel method) applications. ProPEX expander fittings are available in brass or an engineered pastic version, which is more cost effective but just as reliable.
Crimp Fittings/Clamp Fittings
Crimp/clamp fittings are the most simple and most often used by DIYs, however they are also popular with professionals in certain areas of the United States. Crimp/clamp fittings require a crimp tool which uses copper crimp rings or a clamp tool which uses a stainless steel clamp ring to secure a successful connection. Many DIYs prefer the clamp tool because it is slightly easier to use and cheaper than its crimp tool counterpart. These systems can be used with any standard ASTM size PEX tubing with the exception of PEX-AL-PEX.
Viega PexPress Fittings
Viega PEXPress fittings are growing in popularity with professionals across the country. Viega PexPress fittings require a Viega PEX press tool and press sleeves to secure a successful connection. Viega press fittings are commonly used with Viega FostaPEX tubing but can be used with any standard ASTM size PEX pipe.
Compression Fittings
A compression fitting consists of three parts: a compression nut, a compression ring, and a compression insert. Compression fittings do not require a special tool, making it simple for DIYs to install. One major advantage of compression fittings is their simplicity of assembly and disassembly when a repair is needed. Compression fittings are a great choice when a repair or small number of connections is required and purchasing an expensive tool is unwarranted. Compression fittings are available in versions that can be utilized with PEX or PEX-AL-PEX tubing.
Push-Fit Fittings
Push-fit fittings are similar to compression fittings in that they are designed to connect to PEX in a matter of seconds. Push-fit fittings can be disconnected if required and they remove the risk of any scale build up. Because of their flexibility push-fit fittings make it possible to reduce installation time without the need for special tools. The most popular push-fit fittings are manufactured by SharkBite. John Guest also manufactures reliable push-fit fittings. and is best known for its Speedfit series. Push-fit fittings are compatible with any standard ASTM size PEX, copper tubing, and CPVC. However, push-fit fittings cannot be used with PEX-Al-PEX tubing.
F2080 PEX Fittings
The F2080 fitting system is a PEX expansion system made popular by Rehau. In an expansion system, the installer expands the PEX pipe end and inserts a fitting. Because the pipe is expanded, there is no water flow restriction from the fitting. This means the system is full flow. For commercial installations, engineered radiant installations, larger diameter installations, mixed use or condo installations (and more), maximizing flow is often important and even specified. Even amongst PEX expansion systems, the F2080 is the best, as its fittings have the widest bore and allow for maximum flow.
PEX pipe fittings are utilized to make connections from PEX tubing to PEX tubing, PEX tubing to manifolds, PEX tubing to copper, PEX tubing to faucets & fixtures, and a variety of other applications.
