Push-to-connect, also known as push-fit, plumbing solutions have been on the market for a few decades as a time-saving alternative to traditional plumbing systems that require soldering or glue.
PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), which can be used with push-to-connect fittings, has become more popular with contractors because of its flexibility, and ease of use. The need to transition from different pipes to PEX has increased the usage of push-to-connect fittings due to their efficient method and versatility of connecting different types of pipe.
