PEX A can be used with expansion fittings, so the ID is bigger than those using the crimp or clamp fittings.

Apollo makes PEX A for some of its pipe.

Sharkbite PEX is PEX B, and use crimp or clamp fittings.

https://www.hammerpedia.com/oregon-frost-line/ says the frost line in Eugene is 12 inches. So officially you should probably blow out your pipe. How about putting it a tad lower?

Ok thank you! Sharkbite also makes Pex A https://www.lowes.com/pd/SharkBite-1-2-in-x-100-ft-Blue-PEX-A-Expansion-Pipe/5001460723

I don't have any of the pex tools so are there any other fittings I can use besides sharkbite push connect?

I could dig a little lower but pipe will be insulated as well. It only gets down to 25 dgerees F for a couple hours a few days a year.

You would normally need a tool if you don't use push-in connectors. People don't normally recommend using a worm-gear clamp on PEX, but it would probably work. There are hand tools that are not terribly expensive.

I don't see a problem using what the plumber is familiar with and is equipped for.

I am just going to do it myself so I was going to use sharkbite push connect
