What is the name of the tool or what does it look like that I need to crimp the transition piece from Poly B copper color ring fitting to the black ring PEX as shown in your video? Thank you for your helpful video

Thank you! this is exactly what I was looking for. Explained very straight forward. Got caught in the Texas freeze and busted a Grey pipe. Going to swap the line out with Pex for repair

I can’t find the adapter for 3/8 poly going to 1/2 pex. I’m currently disconnected. Most of house is 3/4 poly. Just came across this 3/8 poly and it’s screwing me up. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I had the same issue. I was able to get a 3/8 PEX to 3/8 PolyB fitting. Then after a couple inches of 3/8 PEX I used a 3/8 PEX to 1/2 PEX fitting to complete the transition to 1/2 PEX. Not as nice as a 3/8 PolyB to 1/2 PEX fitting, but I couldn't find those.

I've only seen the plastic poly b fittings fail. Not the pipe itself. I've also seen shark bite 3/4" fittings fit on poly b quite well.

Can you use a Pex Crimp Tool on the Poly B ring?

Are you certain that a pex crimp ring will not fit over polybutylene? I just need to replace a Tee for now, and later re-plumb. Thanks!

The issue is not the PEX ring. Poly-B has thinner walls, and the PEX ring will not fuller compress. To counter this effect, the poly-B side of the coupling (more ridges) has a slightly larger outside diameter (OD). Because of the OD being larger, the ring has less room to move, to crimp down. Same goes for stainless steel rings. You simple need the larger OD of the coupling to make it all work. Before applying water pressure, you will know if the ring (or crimp clamp) has tightened all of the way. Should be obvious. Poly-B is a pain in the pahtutty, but with the correction transition pieces, you'll be up and running smoothly. Hope that helps. (PS not a fan of the sharkbite options.) Pro contractor here.

first of all thanks for the info. question i have heard all bad side of polyb but why we keep some polyb in the house water supply system instead of switching all into PEX. I have a manufatured home with all polyb pipe water supply and am studying to replace them all with DIY

ive had poly b for over 30 years , and my experience was the cone gaskets at the faucets leaked early on. Did have 2 other leaks at the places where the pipe curved, but thats it.

Replace it all. The fittings are most likely to burst, especially if there is a lot of chlorine in your water supply. So in the video, the creator removed the risky couplings angle stops, but left the tubular piping, which is a huge improvement and good move if you dont have access to repipe everything. That said, replace it all, it may last 20years plus with no problem, but the burst fitting will flood worse than a pinhole joint. The pipes are timebombs.

in North Carolina, many of the main service feeds are still (yep) Poly-B. We transition immediately, but still need to be done on a regular basis. Also, some internal runs need to be converted, rather than torn out. It happens.

How can you show such nonsense? Some Chinese pipe as polybutylene? The best polybutylene, the one important for the economy, is produced by members of the World Association of Producers of Polybutylene Systems. Most of them test their products at the KIWA Institute. There are no KIWA markings or any European standards on this tube shown. Total nonsense.

What is nonsense about it? Many homes in the South were plumbed with Poly-B for many years, and are failing now. Calm down.
