How do you connect copper pipe to pex tubing?
The copper should fit in the Pex fitting. My mistake, Pex uses the crimp rings. There is a coupling and other fitting that you just push the pipe into and it grabs and seal the pipe. Pex, pvc, copper, all will fit. Just use a coupling between the copper and the pex. I had my doubts the first time I used this, but it does work and doesn't leak. Just make sure that the pipe bottoms out in the connection.

What is pex pipe?
PEX is a very durable and flexible pipe made from crosslinked polyethylene. It's resistant to scale and chlorine and can't corrode. It's much easier to install than copper or any rigid plastic pipe. It's easy to cut, bend and couple up. It has a huge series of brass fittings . I love working with PEX and have repaired and even re-piped whole houses with it.Old fashioned plumbers often 'trash-talk' PEX as it takes away the 'mystery' about soldering etc. You don't have to be a traditional plumber to use PEX. I learned all about PEX as a well technician.
