The 3/4" port can connect to 3/4" nominal copper, PEX, or CPVC (each of which has a 7/8" outside diameter).
yes if its 3/4 tubing
There is no single fitting that allows you to connect PEX to PEX-AL-PEX. Assuming you have 1/2" tubing and don't want to use any special PEX tools, you can use a PAP-0500M fitting along with either a 450PXF03 or U072 fitting. You can also connect 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX directly to most radiant heat manifolds. Use part D4120500 with Uponor TruFLOW manifolds and part MA-50PAP with Rifeng manifolds.
The white insert is only necessary with PEX, which has a unique inside diameter. You can keep the insert in the fitting when using copper, but it may cause a very slight flow reduction. SharkBite fittings work with flexible copper, but it's a good idea to keep a straight run of at least a few inches out of the fitting.
The insert can be left in with copper. The purpose of the insert is to stiffen PEX inside the fitting. It must be left in with PEX, but it's optional with copper and doesn't really serve a purpose.
You can leave it in. I have and I mixed copper and pex and I have not a leak one. Simple rule if the pipe won't insert because of the plastic insert then remove it.
Yes, they can. SharkBite fittings work with copper, PEX, and CPVC (all of which have the same outside diameter for a given size).
No, SharkBite fittings are not approved for use with gas.
These 1" x 1" elbows accept PEX, copper, or CPVC designated as 1". This will be copper with a 1" ID.
Inside diameter of the fittings, use with all 1" pipe, pex or CPVC.
Shark Bite fittings can be used with any standard PEX tubing. They cannot be used with PEX-AL-PEX tubing.
