Hello, thanks for writing in. These inserts are designed specifically for Uponor stop valves, and so we cannot guarantee they will work for other brands unfortunately.
Only Uponor's compression stop valves (LF4410500 and LF4420500) require this insert piece. Their compression valves require no special tools or PEX for connection. LF4855038 is a ProPEX style stop valve. ProPEX connections only work with PEX-A grade tubing and a PEX expansion tool (e.g. part 2432-22) to make the connection to 1/2" PEX.
These inserts are for use with 1/2" nominal PEX (which has a .475" inside diameter). There is no PEX that has an inside diameter of exactly 1/2". 5/8" PEX is not normally used with domestic water, but it has a .574" inside diameter.
