Unless there are several fundamentally different non-copper / non-steel

are made by the same manufacturer, and PEX, IPEX, and KITEC all use the
same underlying technology and defective compression fittings.

can be identified in several ways but only a qualified plumber can say
with certainty if they are Kitec

Mine are Vanguard.

Does anyone know if Pex / IPex connectors are *different* than Kitec?
