I do not have any hard copper in the system, so flair fittings are out~
Flair-It fittings are a brand of plumbing fittings that work on PEX and copper. They are plastic...push on fittings.
Sharkbite (Home Depot), Gatorbites (Lowes) are brass push on fittings that work on PEX and copper....more expensive
The Flare-It Pro, push on fittings are not recommended for RV use, the Flair-It and Flair-It Plus are recommended for RV and Marine systems using PEX pipe and while you do push the pipe onto the fittings they use a nut to seal the joint.
They are not push on fittings like Sea Tech, Shark Bite and the like.
They do have fittings that adapt to copper and IPS treaded pipe.
