Can you join PEX to PVC?
There is no traditional fitting that can connect PEX directly to PVC. Use a PVC socket solvent fitting with male threads and a PEX fitting with female threads. The PEX x FNPT adapter can be in any PEX fitting style (crimp, ProPEX, PEX Press, push-fit, etc.).
What size PVC fits inside 3/4 PVC?
Any 3/4″ sch 40/80 pipe will fit very tightly into 1″ Sch 40. (It’ll require force to fit.) Any 1.5″ sch 40/80, Class 200, etc will sometimes fit into 2″ Sch 80 pipe. It’ll always fit into Sch 40 2″.
Can you use plastic fittings with PEX?
Unlike the brass PEX fitting that leaks easily, you can make use of the plastic PEX fitting for 10 years and still be rest assured that there will be no leakage.
Can you mix PEX and CPVC?
CPVC is a rigid plastic that is not compatible with PEX fittings, since the rigid plastic cannot be crimped into position for a crimp system and will not spread to work with a compression ring and nut for a compression fitting.

Is PEX and PVC the same?
PEX tubing is made up of Cross-Linked Polyethylene whereas PVC pipes are made up of Polyvinyl Chloride. Both are great options for almost any kind of piping, but there are a total of four different types of pipe that you could consider for your home renovation or DIY project. These are copper, CPVC, PVC, and PEX.
Will PVC fittings work on CPVC?
PVC cement (or glue) does not work like regular glue. This means old-fashioned PVC cement will not be fully effective on CPVC. There is no special “CPVC to PVC glue,” so chemically joining CPVC and PVC requires solvent cement and primer that are strong enough to fully bond CPVC pipe.
