This system uses SharkBite PEX pipe and push-
ttings. It oers the absolute fastest and easiest

This system uses traditional PEX components
(manifolds, barbed ttings, clamp rings, etc.) and
oers the total lowest material cost. When you
need special conguration ttings, such as drop ear
elbows, SharkBite push-ttings oer greater speed
and eciency than traditional barbed ttings while
costing about the same.
