I have to make a repair on PERT pipe. Can I use Uponor expansion methods and materials on this pipe?

8.33 lbs./gal. x 60 min./hr. x 20°ΔT = 10,000 BTU's/hour

Two btu per sq ft for degree difference for a slab

I googled it. All I could find was to use shark bites with PERT

Roth allows cold expansion with their PERT tubing. I’ve done it with no problems.
