   PEX pipe and fittings are built to particular standards, but the standards used can vary from one manufacturer to the other.

   What you need to look for is for the standard numbers to match: fitting/joining system built to same standard as pipe. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot as to whether the joints will seal.

   Edit: Call the Manufacturer to know for sure.

   I could be wrong, so the advice you're about to read is worth only as much as you're paying for it.....

   In my experience, installing replacement/add-on parts to a plumbing system is about as generic as it is for car parts.

   With a car, you need to know the make, model, year, engine, transmission, wheelbase, etc. And then you can buy the parts you need.

   And with plumbing, you need to know almost as many details, in order to get a good match between what you install, and what's already there.

   Fortunately, with the car, you have a good chance of knowing the necessary information.

   Unfortunately, with plumbing, the same is not true.

   So.........

   Good luck.
