        A:  It could be with a clap put on it but it is not made for the flexible vinyl tubing, but not recommended. Home Depot does carry the adapters for the vinyl tubing.

              The Apollo pex a expansion coupling worked really well. It's strong, surprisingly stiff for being plastic, and no leaks on any of the couplers I have used.
