PEX B fittings are loose in red PEX-B pipes, causing crimped connections to rotate under slight twist, unlike blue PEX where fittings are snug.
Manufacturing tolerance variation between different colored PEX-B pipes leads to inconsistent fit, but no tool or method is mentioned to verify or fix the loose fit before crimping.
