Do you need special PVC cement for hot water lines?
There is no special PVC pipe. CPVC can be used for hot water applications or in my opinion just use PEX pipe.
Can you glue an HC PEX tube to PVC pipe?
No, you'll need to put a pipe adapter on the PVC, then use a standard PEX crimp fitting. Or you can use a SharkBite fitting. They work well for this.
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 tool is used to connect pex pipe fittings?
There are several brands of PEX and several systems to install the pipe. Each has its own tools and methods, and training required. I use the aquapex with expansion rings but have also used the other brands.
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.
What would one use a Pex Crimper for?
One would use a Pex Crimper for fitting together and tightening pipes. It would be a good tool for a plumber. It can also be used for inserting a metal bit into a plastic pipe

Can you use pex piping to hook up your boiler to radiators?
yes it will handle the heat as long as your boiler is started with copper
Will pex piping corrode radiators and boilers by oxygen through the pipe?
To avoid corrosion in heating and radiant heating systems, oxygen barrier PEX must be used. Do not use non-barrier PEX for your heating project if you have any cast iron in the system. Source: PexUniverse.com (Learning Center)
What is rigid copper pipe use for?
Mostly used for plumbing inside a house. -Personally, I prefer PEX, easier to install and lasts longer.
