Marty, Pascal, Steve, C.O., Ron, Jay and others who responded to my question
concerning our heating system - Thank you. I created a fill/bleed manifold
with CPVC and connected it into the PEX. I learned that the PEX used,
although it measures 3/4" OD, it is really 5/8" PEX, meaning the Sharkbite
and other snap connectors will not work. To connect to CPVC, there is not
an elegant way. I had to use a 5/8" brass barb fitting and heat the PEX. I
force water through the system for 20 minutes and fired it up. It works
like a champ and now I have a manifold for future needs.
Thank you
