well, great input all!
Seems plastic PEX fittings are out. I had no idea of the trade name for the "push and turn". I now know they are Flare-its.
I did use a couple of SharkBites to tie my water filter to the rest of the system. I was concerned with the weight of them with all of the rough roads I travel. The plan is to get them out of there this go round of "mods".
I will price out the brass PEX fittings and compare to the Flare-Its. I have the PEX tool, so that is not an issue. Nice thing about the Flare-its that i can see is with a few extra fittings in the "hardware store" I keep in the basement, I can either field repair or bypass just about anything in the system. Thanks all.
