Hopefully this hasn't been discussed too many times and is in the right group, but here goes....
I'm slowly replacing the 50 year old galvanized pipes in my house with PEX, seems like a much easier task and the materials are cheaper. That said, one problem that I'm running into is that there is SO MANY kinds of PEX on the market. My question is of compatibility - is, for instance, Zurn PEX tubing compabitible with non Zurn fittings? Is PEX tube PEX tube, or does it really matter?
To be honest, I find the Zurn stuff to be just fine, but its impossible to find locally and I can't seem to locate an online dealer - not to mention the lack of fittings.
Is this a problem because PEX is new, or because I'm not a contractor and just not experienced enough?
