Wirsbo and Rehau

[ematzen]

Quick question: A plumber installed some Rehau pex in my house. I am going to finish the job with Wirsbo (Uponor). The Rehau is also an expansion system right? Can I use Wirsbo tees and the expansion tool to tie into the Rehau (e.g. cut the joints off the current Rehau and use Wirsbo expansion tool and joints? I am fairly certain I can...just want reassurance.

Thanks.

I dont know the first thing abou tt he Rehau

brands of pex,


you might want to just tie into the Rehau with a couple of
sharkbite tees instead of trying to mix them up

My understanding is that Rehau is indeed an expansion system much like Wirsbo. Whether or not they are interchangeable I do not know.

A sharkbite transition is probably a safe bet!
