Suggested Alternative:
1/2" ProPEX x 1/2" Male Sweat Copper Fitting Adapter (Lead Free Brass)
ProPEX Red Brass fitting Adapters transition PEX-a tubing to copper fittings. Highly resistant ot the effects of aggressive water conditions, published research has repeatedly demonstrated that red brass is generally regarded as immune to dezincification and stress-corrosion cracking. Red Brass Fittings are safe for direct burial in soil in accordance with Uponor installation guidelines.
Q: Can pex "copper fitting" adapters be soldered directly into another brass fitting? The brass to brass fit doesn't seem as snug as the copper to brass. Thanks.

Yes, you can solder the fitting adapter directly to another brass fitting. Typically, contractors will sweat the fitting adapter directly to a brass ball valve as this is common practice.
