Are the PEX type "B" pipe "compression rings" all the same for the various brands of PEX B tube?
Meaning if I run across PEX-B, regardless of the manufacturer will the (1/2" and 3/4") crimp rings I have work - or do I need to buy the crimp rings from the manufacture of the tubing?
Also do the shinny copper and the dull copper (or is it brass?) crimp rings use the same crimper tool and Go-No-Go gauge?
Lastly, can I use crimp rings on both PEX-A (Uponor ProPEX) and PEX-B pipe. I have the Uponor expander tool - I'm just curious if the crimp rings also work on the PEX-A (or is the diameter of the tubing different for type A and B)?
Thanks.
