Are aqua pex fittings and super pex fittings the same?
I had the same question today. The answer is no. Aquapex had an aluminum casing and so the sharkbite fittings will not work on Aquapex. Now searching for aquapex fittings. Yes, the Sharkbite fittings work on Aquapex. I plumbed my cottage 3 years ago with Aquapex and fittings. Recently, I have had difficulty finding Aquapex fittings. My new work is done with Sharkbite fittings. These fit easily onto the Aquapex pipe. I have used tee joints and inline valves. As with Aquapex fittings, yo have to ensure that the pipe end is round first. Use the Aquapex reaming tool. ---------- The link below can give you a better understanding of PEX fittings types.
What is the best plumbing material?

Husband changed copper water pipes to plastic now water taste like glue can you fix?
The only sensible fix is to remove all plastic lines and replace with PEX, as should have been used in first place. PEX costs only marginally more than cheap plastics and will outlast them by years. Technique is different, you need a PEX coupling kit, about $27 including crimper, in Home Depot, whatever fittings were needed before will now be needed in PEX brass fittings. Attach to copper with 'Sharkbite' couplings.
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.
do you know is it suitable to transfer gas with plastic pipes could anyone solve my questions?
as my former working experience at RIIFO, I know that RIIFO has a set that are especially for transfering gas-PAP and PEX tubing with F5 fittings. As I learned that gasoline transportation can be done with PAP or PEX pipes, and it’s OK to connect F5 fittings. But gasoline corrosion resistance of PEX is grade C, which implies that at 80℃, the maximum operating pressure does not exceed 60% of the working pressure, that is, the design working pressure is 6bar, and the maximum gasoline transmission pressure is 3.6 bar. Both PE/AL/PE or PEX/AL/PEX pipes can be in contact with LPG for a long time. The melting point of PE is 125℃, and PEX does not melt. So I think the answer is YES!
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.
Can you connect pex to an electric water heater?
Yes, usually I like to start it with some copper (8 inches) and then attach pex adapters. You can run it directly to it, but it's awkward you're crimping on pex to brass fittings on the tank, it's hard to crimp. If you can manage it, there's nothing wrong with it. It's easier to add a copper nipple first.
