Can Normal PEX Fittings be Used on Valterra Braided PVC Tubing?
Question:
What fittings should be used for this hose? Can all types of PEX fittings be used? If not what do you recommend?

For the Valterra Braided PVC Tubing for RV Fresh Water - 50' Long - 1/2" ID x 5/8" OD - 73 F # W01-1800, the manufacturer offers the following:
Valterra Male Adapter - 3/8" MPT x 1/2" Barb - Polypropelene # RF840
Valterra T-Connector - 1/2" Barb x 1/2" Barb x 1/2" Barb - Polypropelene # RF843
Valterra Coupler - 1/2" Barb x 1/2" Barb - Polypropelene # RF845
Valterra 90-Degree Elbow - 1/2" Barb x 1/2" Barb - Polypropelene # RF844
The PEX fittings have not been tried on this hose, so I can't confirm the fit. The hose will be similar, but I can't confirm the fittings will crimp properly as they haven't been tested for that use.
