What's the consensus here - should the PEX fittings be reused if the line has to be cut and reworked? I cut some old PEX lines that I installed about a year ago and I noticed that there was some blackish residue on the fitting - rust from the galvanized to PEX interface most likely. But I notice the discoloration and the fact that the crimp ring to some extent distorts the fitting and it makes me wonder if I should discard old fittings.
