Pex Connectors

I'd bet they are still plastic.  But, a quick call to Service (1-866-205-2621) will get you the quick real answer.

p.s.  I just re-read the thread and I was assuming that you were asking about the "supports" that are being used to "force" the pex into a 90 degree bend.  I don't think that Oliver has gone back to using actual 90 degree fittings but I could be wrong.  In either case - a quick call will get you the "proper" answer.

After having had a Pex Elbow fail while camped in the middle of nowhere (details HERE in an earlier Sharkbite thread), I recommend all owners get Pex repair parts and tools in advance. After my experience I suggested a crimping tool with clamps ($26.99), and some brass elbows ($8.99) from Amazon. Also some 3 foot segments of Pex tubing from any hardware store; Amazon seems to sell Pex in 50 or 100 foot rolls. 

I also keep my Pex stuff in the water pump compartment. 

David,

I also see the following here , it has a cutter in addition to the crimper.  did you already have a cutter, or was the pack w/cutter not available when you bought??

I have Wirsbo which is a PEX, throughout our home, so I have plenty of fittings.

Those crimpers are pretty bulky, so if you want to keep your repair kit simple, a few small hose clamps will work as well as the crimps, and you can easily get a straight enough cut with a utility knife. The goal for field repairs is to get you going again - you can always come back later to do a proper repair.
