Feature:
Pros of Crimp Fittings
Highly heat resistant
More flexible than expansion fittings
Have the highest degree of cross-linking, which makes the strongest chemical bond
Restricted flow of water lowers the bursting pressure
Easy kink fixes if the pipe is damaged or broken
Cheaper pipes and installation

Cons of Crimp Fittings
Strong shape memory makes it inflexible to fit in most spaces, leading to leaks if a crimp is loose or not installed properly
The smaller internal diameter of the PEX pipe restricts water flow and leads to intense pressure drop
Requires upsizing to increase the water flow of the distribution
Requires special tools like go/no go gauge according to the pipe sizes and fittings
