You would have to use the WIPEX fitting system: http://www.pexsupply.com/Wirsbo-Uponor-5550030-WIPEX-Fitting-3-PEX-x-2-1-2-NPT
We do not carry any fittings for that purpose--1/4" PEX is only for use with ice maker lines (which come with the fittings needed).
Yes, it is.
Yes, you can do that.
I would recommend using AQUAPEX. As for the size, that will depend on how much water you require (gpm). Normally, most people will use 1" - 1 1/4" in a residential water main application.
No, you cannot. This AquaPEX tubing is for plumbing use, and has a maximum temperature rating of 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
Any of the PEX tubing listed here will work http://www.pexsupply.com/PEX-Tubing-516000 . You can use either the Crimp style fittings or Sharkbite fittings.
Yes, PEX can be used to supply the house line from the water meter. You would just have to make sure the line was buried since the PEX cannot be exposed to UV light.
You are correct; the inside diameter of 3/4" PEX is about 5/8". The reason the pipe is smaller though is because PEX requires less fittings and therefore would not change the velocity of the flow in the house. We would recommend staying with the 3/4" PEX since it is easier to work with than the 1" and it would not cause any pressure problems in the system.
Yes, the AquaPEX would be the correct tubing to use in that application with your standard hot water tank.
