The hardware man said heat is used to slide PEX onto these fittings.
Rather than explain it, he gave me a piece of polybutylene.
He told you wrong. Heat is never used.
If I have to replace any more tubing, I want to use PEX. How do I slide
it on to a compression fitting designed for PEX and polybutylene? Is
heat the best way? Would a hair dryer be my best source? Would a
different brand of fitting solve the problem? Would faucet grease do
the trick?
No, not exactly.
