I am in the process of building a house and I'm getting ready to plumb the waterlines, I'm not a pro but I'm handy. I have a old cinch tool that I bought a decade or more ago. I was in blissful ignorance and did not realize different pex manufactures require there own fittings. Seems like everyone on here recommends Uponor pipe and a expansion tool, but I'm not sure I want to buy a new tool, and I have had good luck with the cinch tool in the past.
Is there different manufactures of cinch fittings that should not be used with other cinch tools?
I want to use type A pex. What brand would you recommend with cinch fittings?
Are the actual fittings for cinch and crimp the same, and just the rings are different?
I'm buying a Manabloc manifold, can I buy the one that comes with crimp fittings and just use ss cinch rings on it?
Or should I just suck it up and buy the Uponor expansion tool?
Thanks for any advice.
