yes they are called "shark bites" I used them through my cottage when we did it over they are great, we used those, Pex tubing and CPVC tubing for everything, except the fill lines, and there we used the stainless steal braided lines. PEX will increase to twice its size before busting and the fittings allow the PEX to spin because of water pressure and also they are very easy to use, we plumbed the whole place in a day and then had it inspected by the town and they very very happy with what we did.
