I never saw PEX fittings like that. Interesting.

Those are Wirsbo brand fittings. Much better than the crimp style but they take a special tool to spread and install.

You'd think they design a spreader tool that can be utilized with a foot holder or a flat end that can be placed on a work table. This guy was using his stomach for one end of the handle, which appears to be a two man job for this connection.
