which pex can be used with the expander tool
870218
I believe that this Pex can be used with any tool as long as you follow all of the tool instructions. I used the Zurn crimper because you can use just the one tool for any size Pex.

Doubtful...but anything is possible if one tries hard enuf. Normally, this tool cinches a metal band around Pex, a type of plastic tubing used for plumbing purposes. Inserted in the Pex tubing is a hollow metal fixture which acts as a core for the metal band to tighten the Pex tubing against, making it leakproof. If my memory is correct, this tool only works with 1/2", 3/4" and 1" tubing. Why go thru the expense of buying this tool when there are plenty of hose repair kits or patches you can buy. If you are buying this tool to also use as a plumbing tool, then, with a little ingenuity and experimentation you might be able to adapt it for garden hose repair...good luck1 Doubtful...but anything is possible if one tries hard enuf.

I agree with Jay Zee. The new trailers use PEX pipe for the plumbing and some of the older trailers use galvanized or copper pipe. The PEX pipe is rated for 100 psi and the Galvanized and Copper are rated for at least 100 psi. You will be much happier with the new pump. It is quieter and more efficient than the old ones.

Sorry for delay, The crimper works on Molex open Barrel connectors and may work on other Mfg. connectors but if it doesn't you may be able to replace the die with the right ones

You will most likely be able to fit the tips in the soldering iron and fit the nozzles on the air gun. Both tools have standard sizes and have a little play (or extra space) before accessories are tightened to allow for such accessories to be attached. However, on the very slim (very slim) chance that the tips do not fit, you can always by reliable yet inexpensive expansion packs.

SharkBite will connect OD controlled copper, CPVC, or PEX pipe. I've used it on the dreaded polybutylene.

Please be more specific, are you replacing abs with pex? Ar you contemplating using pex clamps on abs?

I believe it is the expand it, the Ryobi the poulan attachments are all interchangeable. This worked great in flower beds for 5 years but brass gear shredded this year.

No. To remove a clamp so you can reuse the fitting you can pry some with screw drivers and various pliers if you dont have any small grinder. The 1" stainless cinch clamps are hard to remove, but their might be some sort of metal cutting pliers ( maybe wire cutters ) that does a better job. It isn't safe to remove them for purpose of reusing the PEX because the PEX squeezes down some when crimped, so you should only crimp on a piece of PEX that hasn't been crimped before. I would just cut away that bit of PEX near the cinch clamp.

The kit comes with 3/8,1/2,5/8,3/4,7/8,1 1/8 expander's. Will not expand hard copper unless it's annealed first. I use this often and very seldom use fittings anymore ..Recommend the bender also..Great stuff. It has paid for itself in fittings and silfoss.

You can only use the pro-flex compression fittings. Other brand fittings or standard fittings will not work with this pipe. Once you install the pro-flex fitting you can use any NPT fitting you want.

The "rings" are a copper crimp rings that you purchase separately. If you are using 1/2" pex tubing you would purchase 1/2" pex crimp rings. Now in connecting copper to pex, you might soldier a pex brass fitting to the copper, put a crimp ring over the pex tubing, slide the pex tubing onto the brass fitting then crimp with this tool. After which, you can check with the enclosed guage to see if you did it correctly. If not, you need to remove the crimp ring. Therefore (mistakes are made), I would / did buy the pex ring remover tool, which enables you to remove the ring without damaging the fitting. If only doing a small job, SharkBite type fittings might the way to go. The "rings" are a copper crimp rings that you purchase separately.

My impression was that they are only for PEX (cross-linked polyethylene). Other plastics might crack. But if you Google it maybe you can get a more solid answer

Yes, you can use standard sized bits in the extension as well as the thinner Leatherman sized bits.

It expands, when it thaws the pex will go back to it's original size. I live in the snow belt of upstate ny and have seen this in my own home.

You can use snappies or Playtex drop ins with the adaptor. Honestly this pump is horrible...do not buy it. You will need another in 6 months or so. No customer service either.
