Is this connected right?

[eddiey]

Hi all, new here. I recently had a plumber connect this pex pipe to a water heater....It looks like the line is only on the fitting about 3/8' inch and just wanted to know if this is connected right so it doesnt pop off or anything. Thanks.

From what I can tell its should be fine. Wirsbo fittings have a ridge on them to make a good seal. It only looks like it's barely on because the wirsbo is expanded more in that area making the collar more transparent.

Expansion fittings have a tendency to slip ahead of the pipe a bit. That's not perfect, but it's acceptable. I wouldn't worry about it.

Thanks for the replies guys...So you dont think its going to pop off at anytime? I just dont want a massive flood again, thats why this pipe was re routed from the original concrete slab copper line sprung a leak....

That is a perfect Uponor X copper adapter. It's correctly installed

looks like the ring is not against the pex 100 %
