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.

He has been in the business all his life. He keeps his tools hanging at
the store because he has several houses and never knows when a tenant
may have a plumbing emergency. He knows plumbers but it's been so long
since he needed one, that he doesn't know what they charge these days.

People can buy plumbing supplies cheaper at big stores, but he does a
thriving business because he'll give them advice they can count on. I'll
take his word over yours.


OK, but I've never heard of using heat for pex. I just tried to find
some information, but I could not find heat being used on a pex fitting.

I guess you can add me to that list. I'm all for the 12 step program.
Yep, two 6 packs is a good start.
