A: Hello,
It will be necessary to see if your particular Viega PEX tubing is approved for use with brass barb fittings. If your tubing has "ASTM F1807" printed on the outside wall it will be compatible for use with these fittings. If you do not see this standard printed on the outside wall of the PEX we recommend contacting the manufacturer of the tubing to check for compatibility. If you have additional questions please don't hesitate to reach out to our technical support department at 877-700-4242.
Best Regards,

A: They will literally fit inside. As in they are too small and the setup will leak. This is exactly why I bought them (oil catch can) and I wasted my time. See my review for a photo.
