a.PEX may be connected directly to the water heater nipple

c.PEX must be within 6 inches of the flue
d.PEX is prohibited anywhere in potable systems

Because of high outlet temperatures, PEX is not permitted within the first 18 inches of piping connected to a water heater, so a metallic (for example copper) connector is used at that point. Direct connection at the nipple is not allowed, and PEX is otherwise an approved potable water material, so the prohibition and 6-inch flue claims are wrong.
