And Lowes carries all the pipe, fittings, and clamps for the 1/2" PEX: https://www.lowes.com/pl/Sharkbite--...ment=617162671
I have used both the brass and the poly fittings and both work well. These are photos of the crimper, pipe, and a bag of clamps. |
Had to do a little plumping on my fifth wheel this past fall, bought a similar kit from Amazon ,came with everything including the stainless clamps . Bought a couple of 2' pex pipes red ,and blue for the project at home depot .
Sharkbite if I remember when looking at the parts etc ,it was a lot more expensive then what I did.
