Yes, usually I like to start it with some copper (8 inches) and then attach pex adapters. You can run it directly to it, but it's awkward you're crimping on pex to brass fittings on the tank, it's hard to crimp. If you can manage it, there's nothing wrong with it. It's easier to add a copper nipple first.

Will pex cinch clamp work onpoly?
Yes, PEX cinch clamps are typically compatible with PEX tubing, including PEX-A, PEX-B, and PEX-C. Make sure to use the correct size cinch clamp for the corresponding PEX tubing diameter to ensure a secure connection.
What is the flow rate of water through .75 inch pex pipe at 40 psi in gpm?
The standard formula to calculate flow(GPM - gallons per minute) from a CIRCULAR orifice is:29.7 * (the square root of the pressure) * (the square of the diameter of the flow orifice)EXAMPLE using 3/4" Pex Pipe(actual I.D. of 3/4 PEX Pipe is .677") and 40 PSI pressure:29.7 * 6.325(sq. root of 40) * .458(the square of the I.D. 3/4" pipe) =A GPM of 86.03Note: You also need to account for fittings in the loss calculations; while minimal several fitting will make a difference.
Do I have to insulate pex tubing in below freezing climates?
It is recommended to insulate PEX tubing in below freezing climates to prevent the water inside from freezing and causing the tubing to expand and potentially burst. Insulation can help maintain the temperature of the water and protect the tubing from cold temperatures.
What does PEX stands for in DU results?
PEX stands for Performance Excellence, which is a measurement of how well a student performs in their academic courses. It is often used as a grade in discussions around student performance and academic achievement.
What is the melting point of pex tubing?
The melting point of PEX tubing is typically around 250-260 degrees Fahrenheit. It is important to note that prolonged exposure to temperatures above its melting point can cause the tubing to deform or break down.
