Wirsbo and Pex Crimping methods

[Trevor]

I have an existing, old, wirsbo system, and I want to update, but I only have access to the PEX crimping tools. Can I simply cut the tubing where I want to start using the different technology? Is it the same tubing, just different joint method?\
\
I don't have the cold expansion tooling, nor do I want to buy it. (maybe rent it somewhere in Ontario?)

Yes you can but the wirsbo system is far superior

 

[Rickyman]

Yes, but warranty is void

Use a SharkBite coupling to connect the two different pexs together then do all your other joints with the crimps

Thats not necessary. Pex is Pex, it all works with crimp tools.
