I don't believe those radiate style clamps will work with PEX.
1.) You can either rent/buy the pex banding tool. Tool is expensive, bands are cheap. But, you can't reposition/reuse connections.
2.) Buy the
Sharkbite style connectors and the proper PEX cut off tool. If you do, you might as well buy all new PEX pipe, too. It's cheap. Plus, for the Sharkbite style to work, the OUTSIDE surface of the pipe must be free of scratches, the pipe cut perpendicular and no rough edges. The cut-off tool works very well.
You can reposition the pipes after they're connected, so you can rotate parts AFTER they're in place. It can make assembly MUCH EASIER in hard to reach areas. JUST MAKE SURE THE PEX PIPE IS FULLY SEATED BEFORE SUPPLYING WATER PRESSURE.
I didn't trust them at first, but now I swear by them. I've had several installed on my rig for about 13 years now. No issues.
I keep several of the connectors and shut-off valves with me in my RV spare parts kit. If a pipe/faucet leaks or the potty starts leaking or whatever, I can quickly cut the PEX pipe feeding it, put in a shut-off valve and re-pressurize the water to the rest of the rig.
Good Luck,
