Can this be used with PEX fittings?

you will need a pex 1/2 inch female fitting to connect to the 1/2 inch male off the pump inlet and outlet with this you can use pex piping

I don't see why not, but it depends on the amount and frequency of impact. The fitting should be consistent with most power tools. I have an impact screwdriver, and it works just fine for me. Hope this helps. John

There is another system that this item is not compatible with- the questions/answers here don't seem to address this system:SharkBite 23251 PEX Crimp Tool, Copper PEX Crimp Rings for 1/2-Inch PEX Pipe

Yes. Test all fittings with a water / soap spray to make sure there are no leaks...

Any brand will work. All Pex fittings and tubing are manufactured to industry standard dimensions. No need to ream the tubing. If you use a sharp cutter there won't be anything to ream.

Pex can be connected to copper using a fitting. I am not quite sure what you mean by repairing leaks on copper pipe. The crimping tool is specifically designed for use with the pex tubing, but as I mentioned, the pex and copper can be connected using a fitting.

It is only for pex tubing but you can get fittings that come off of copper pipe to pex such as shark bites or solder fittings to pex.

Probably, but I have not tried this. As the other responder said, one of the dies will crimp a connector pin (M or F) onto a wire and then you insert the pin into the molex connector housing. So indirectly, the answer is yes.

No, that combination will not work for this fitting. For nominal 1/2" OD copper there are 2 types; tubing (.500 OD) and Types K, L pipe (.625 OD). 3/8" PEX is .500 OD; 1/2" PEX is .625 OD.

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

Yes, absolutely. Just to be clear, each pin connector(male or female) is crimped onto the each wire individually with this crimper tool and then they are inserted into the plastic molex connector housing.

No. You don't need the ratchet action for this type of PEX connection. This squeezes a tab on the sleeve; not the while sleeve like the bigger much more expensive PEX tool. That way you can do any size pipe connection with the same tool. This tool is much smaller than the big pro version. The only drawback is that the rings for this are much more expensive than the big pro version, so if you have a huge project it may be worthwhile paying the extra for the other type tool. I found this one works great for my little projects.

Yes and that is how I use some. Be careful of course that your fitting is waterproof and that your fitting can take a fitting that may be a touch bigger. Check dimensions carefully.

Sure but you may also want to consider plumber's dope. My pecking order is as follows: I first try teflon tape, if that does not work then plumbers dope, then permatex products like the one you are using. The permatex you are using is one of their stronger products for the particular circumstance. As you can see, it is an aviation product.

I don't think so, at least not with the usual Python adapter. The hose only has a 1/4" diameter opening.

No. You need to get the special fittings, but I don't recommend the ProFlex units Amazon sells. They utilize a silicone washer that is very soft and easy to accidentally cut (and ruin) with the corrugated. Homee Depot has fittings that are better and less costly.
