I'd like to add a couple fitting for winterizing.
It looks like PEX, but it could be 15mm (Whale?) or it could be 1/2" Anyone know what size it is?
Also, who makes the fittings? I'd like to match them up. Whale, Watt's Aqualock (1/2"), Sharkbite, etc.
 
The PEX fittings and tubing that came on our boat were 1/2". Additional fittings and tubing were available at the hardware store, often packaged by Watts. The Whale fittings available at West Marine did not fit. We have used these to expand our plumbing system with an accumulator, reverse osmosis desalinator, a fresh or raw water option wash down and a wash down line to the anchor locker.

Hello,

Your boat was built with 1/2' PEX hose and the fittings you would want to use are the Watt's Aqualock style. Hope this helps.

Thanks,
