Can't solder 3/4" copper into the ID

By Aaron

from PA

Verified Buyer

Comments about Mr. PEX 3/4" PEX-AL-PEX Compression Fitting:

Big downfall - Can't solder 3/4" copper into the ID of the fitting. MUST use 3/4" pipe thread coupling. So you need this fitting, 3/4" coupling or 90 and a 3/4" copper male adapter to go to copper pipe.

The fitting works the way it is advertised, NO problem with the fitting.

ADVICE - STAY AWAY FROM PEX-AL-PEX!! It is cheap but the fittings are almost impossible to find and if you do the selection is VERY limited and they can be expensive. Standard 3/4" pex anything will NOT work with Pex-AL-Pex.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      We would not recommend that you use anything on the compression side, due to the o-rings.

    Will these fittings work with Watts PAP5 tubing--the tubing box states that only fittings marked with ASTM F1281-2005 are compatible.

      FYI--(I'm the original poster) I received these fittings (I had already ordered them) and right on the nut is stamped F1281-2005. Hurray for making my life easier!

  • Mr. PEX 3/4" PEX-AL-PEX Compression Fitting

    Q:

    Is any type of expansion tool needed to affix the pex al pex tube onto the fitting securely, before tightening the fitting? Also, what is the best cutter for pex-al-pex?
    Asked on 9/19/2011 by The Doctor from Yonkers, NY

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      You will need a chamfering tool to prepare the tubing for the fitting. Most PEX cutters also cut PEX-AL-PEX tubing.

  • Mr. PEX 1/2" PEX-AL-PEX Compression Fitting

    Q:

    Can these be used at the fixture ends of a home run system to supply fixtures not normally used for drinking water, such as baths, showers, toilets, dishwashers, washing machines, and laundry sinks? (Did I get that list right?)

    What are the access requirements for these (compression) fittings? Can they be used "in walls" immediately behind stop valves or in conjunction with shower mixing valves, if access is explicitly provided say via an access panel? Or incidentally say in an unfinished utility closet? Can they be used between floor joists immediately below stop valves or risers, if access to the fitting is provided say via the basement? Crawlspace? Can they be used between the floor joists of a second floor, if access is provided via the first floor, but a leak may cause some damage before it is detected?

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      No, the fittings are not NSF approved. You can use them for heating, but not for plumbing. We recommend that you follow local code requirements for the placement of the fittings (most likely will be the same practice you would use for copper).

    Q:

    Is their a torque spec on the 3/4" pex-al-pex compression fitting?
    Asked on 9/23/2010 by Brian A from Rochester NY

    1 answer

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      The manufacturer does not provide a torque specification on this item. They recommend that the fitting is hand tightened and then followed by a 1/4 turn with a wrench. Then, if a pressure test is completed, tighten the fitting as needed.
