I have a PEX pipe coming out of my slab that has a black interior, a shiny metalic layer, then a gray outer layer. I'm assuming it's the aluminum oxygen barrier PEX. The outside diameter is .9375 (15/16") so the 3/4" crimp rings I get at Lowe's will not fit.
Note: it appears that the outer layer of gray has been removed to put a fitting on originally. Experimenting with the pipe and removing the gray puts the metal layer at just over the .875" that is specified for 3/4" pipe. I can't believe that this is the right way to terminate the pipe.
What kind of crimp rings are supposed to be used for this pipe?
