My local MH supply company sells FailSafe brand pex fittings. I noticed they have China stamped on them. Are these fittings as good as ones bougt at the big box stores?

maybe see if there is a website address on the package? personally, considering how these things get used, (out of sight, in walls, below floors etc) I would want a name brand until I could find out something about the company...

So many things are made in China today it's almost the norm.
If you're unsure about the MH store brand I would check Home Depot or Lowes.
That's where I got my PEX Shark Bite Pex fittings and they're great.
Also maybe cheaper at the Big Box stores.

If it is a connection in the wall, I would use the crimp type connectors. I personally just don't totally trust he push lock type yet. Greg
