Hi everyone, I am new to this forum after spending a lot of time visiting local big box store, searching Internet and watching YouTube videos. I still don’t have a good recommendation and I really appreciate the help so I can finish the small bathroom remodel project that’s taking me forever.
I am remodeling a small bathroom in a house built in South Florida about 25 years ago. One of the bathrooms had a leak and decided to remodel the whole bathroom so I have all the piping exposed on the wall. I called couple of plumbers and of course they suggested replacing all piping with new piping and asked very high prices so I decided to do it myself. I did remodel another small bathroom and successfully replaced copper tubing.
Here is my first question how do I identify what kind of pipe I currently have I attached links to the pictures of the pipes I have. Seems like the PB2110 indicates it is polybutylene, is that correct?

. Since I decided to go with Pex A after researching. How do I transition from the existing PB pipe to pex a. A few online plumbing supply stores, and none could give me a clear answer.
So the first question is, how do I identify and find out what kind of pipe this is?
And then the second question is what fitting adapter do I use to transition from this to pex A.
I really appreciate any help and glad to be here thank you all
