FAQ
What size PEX crimp tool do I need?
Size depends on the ring diameter being crimped. The PEX Crimp Tools Kit covers 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", and 1" with interchangeable jaws in one kit. Single-size and dual-size ring crimpers are also available for 1/2" only or 1/2" and 3/4" combined.
How does a PEX expansion tool make a connection without crimping?
The PEX-A expansion tool stretches the end of a PEX-A tube using a self-rotating expansion head, then the tube forms a firm connection around the ASTM F1960 fitting. No crimp ring is compressed onto the outside, which sets it apart from the crimp and cinch clamp methods.
What is the difference between a crimp ring and a cinch clamp connection?
A crimp ring connection compresses a copper ring onto the fitting using a crimping tool, while a cinch clamp connection tightens a clamp ring using a ratcheting handle. The PEX one hand cinch clamp tool has a built-in LED indicator that lights up once the clamp is fully engaged, while crimp connections are checked with an included Go/No-Go gauge.
Does the PEX cinch clamp tool need batteries?
Yes. The PEX one hand cinch clamp tool includes 2 button batteries in the box, which power the built-in LED indicator. The indicator lights up when the clamp is fully engaged, confirming the connection is complete without a separate gauge.
How do I check if a PEX crimp connection is correct?
Slide the Go/No-Go gauge over the crimped ring once the connection is made. The gauge is included with the PEX Crimp Tools Kit and confirms whether the ring is compressed to the correct diameter.
What tube sizes does the PEX-A expansion tool support?
Support depends on which head set is selected. The 3-Head Set covers 1/2", 3/4", and 1", while the 5-Head Set adds 3/8" and 5/8" for the full five-size range.
Can I use a PEX pipe cutter for materials besides PEX?
Yes. The PEX Pipe Cutter also cuts PVC tube and rubber hose up to 1 5/8" in diameter, so it is not limited to PEX tubing alone.
What is the difference between the two PEX ring crimper sizes?
The jaw coverage differs between the two. The 1/2" PEX ring crimper handles only the 1/2" size, while the 1/2" 3/4" PEX ring crimper covers both 1/2" and 3/4" in the same jaw.
Is there a discount for contractors buying PEX tools?
Yes. Plumbers, contractors, and mechanics can submit a wholesale inquiry through the Wholesale Inquiry Form, and business buyers can apply for special pricing, priority support, and access to an exclusive B2B order portal through the B2B Program. Subscribers also unlock discounts through the YES Rewards program.
