will it work on PEX tubing?

I believe that really depends on application but it is a cheap product if their is no loss in trying

If it works like the Rectorseal 2 in. x 4 ft. Pipe Repair Kit (expoxy tape activated in water), then my guess is that it may not because the tape works best when it is wrapped on itself for superior adhesion (sticks on itself far beter).

As I recall it was 3/8". If you take the line to Lowes or Home Depot and show them they should be able to fit you with the right fitting. Mine had 3/8" male threaded on the one end (You have to remove a nut to use it) and 1/2" female copper on the other, so I had to solder a short length of copper line to that end and then I could join it to my 1/2" PEX lines. Hope this helps

You have to buy barbs or compression fittings for it. Buy 3/8 fittings and yes the tubing will work

yes absolutely you could use 1 inch PEX that's how I plumbed still working great for almost a year

Yes, and it works better on PVC pipes,based on other peoples answers (I have copper 1/2 and it works great)

It won't work on any type of pipe, because it's a scam product that has been shown in numerous independent tests to do NOTHING.Here's a video of a guy who really wanted this product to work. This is his after test on a water heater:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE_byf09ANk

It goes on the tube. Pump the action and see how much room u have on the end where the screw is. If its a inch or more it will work.

Well this is what I know. I borrowed a friends crimper that was made for these. it work very well and these clamps , if clamped right really grip!!! the crimper he had was not a hgh dollar crimper but you could set the crimper with a guage so you know how much to crimp the clamp. you could try your wire cutters and see if it crimps right...the worst thing that will happen is your pipe will leak and you will have to cut the crimp off and more then likely replace the pex pipe.

I would guess that as long as the diameter of the tube is the same, it would work.

You can use the removal tool for Shark Bite PEX connectors. Home Depot has these according to size of the PEX pipe. Also, my removal tool came with the WATTS Manifold along with a lot of other fittings and adapters.

I think this can work on a fiberglass tub IF the tub does not flex too much as the clamp is tightened. Mine wasused on a standard cast iron tube, so the clamping was certain.

I think it will work just fine. Don't need a patch first. It will flow level cover the problem fully don't be stingy. It only is good for a year and will harden in the tube. Great stuff.

I would think you could use on either - just make sure the temperature controller is placed properly. Plastic piping is slower in heat transfer that steel/metal. Not sure if the control should be on fitting (PEX) or the tubing, might have to experiment. Absolutely insulate as best you can, this makes it cheaper to operate. I have used it with the black Armaflex as well as fiberglass, even Styrofoam.

U may need an adapter. The tubing size vs. the PVC sizing is probably going to differ.

I have in installed on plastic waterline ( black flexible) outside covered with black foam insulation. The foam is held in place with electrical tape wrapped like a barber pole the entire length. Been there several years, no problem. Don't know about cpvc or pex for sure.

I dont know if heat tape is approved, but if PEX can handle hot water from a water heater, I don't see why it can't handle heat tape. Although, PEX will expand, unlike copper pipe, so it won't burst, even if it freezes, so why use it on PEX?
