To quote the website, these Slip Fittings/Slip Couplings are for "For
use with copper only."

Now look at the Slip Tee on the bottom of that page. The Tee port
looks just like any other SharkBite port, so I maintain that you could
use that specific port with Pex. I think that they mean that the Slip
ports (the long side of the Tee that doesn't have a stop) can only be
used with copper.

Okay, I think even I got it that time. I did not know about these slip
fittings. The burst area of the pipe is only 1" to 1.5", and with these, it
requires only one, and not two like I have been doing it. It took some
time, but I got it. Thanks. This will make it simpler for me, plus adding
a Schrader to the system, and blowing it out completely each fall when I
shut the water system down.

Hey. I was not aware of the "slip" fittings. I did know of the
Copper, PVC, PEX connects -- "push fit".
