Bought to connect 1/2 PEX to 1/2 copper. Copper tubing is 1/2 OD, PEX is 1/2 ID 5/8 OD. So this does NOT work. What's up?

No, that combination will not work for this fitting. For nominal 1/2" OD copper there are 2 types; tubing (.500 OD) and Types K, L pipe (.625 OD). 3/8" PEX is .500 OD; 1/2" PEX is .625 OD.

No, it will not work unless your copper pipe is 1/2" ID. 1/2" OD is a bit odd for water pipe, but it's not the first time I've heard of this. Two possible reasons. The original installer plain got the wrong pipe, or the correct pipe wasn't available so he used this. If it was a homeowner, he may not have known that there is a difference between OD and ID, just saw the 1/2" label on it, and bought it, not realizing it was the wrong size. There are also differences with K, L and M pipe when it comes to thickness, so your ID on that 1/2 OD pipe may be difficult to determine unless you have a tool to measure it.

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.

The question is how low is low? I bought the 3/8 and 1/2 size. The reading I was looking for was 105 and 240 to 280 inch pounds on several fittings. The 3/8 measured these just fine. I never even used the 1/2 adapter. Hope this helps. e-mail back if you still have questions.

It works with G 1/4 fittings.The G 1/4 fitting you use decides what tubing you can use.here is a fitting that works with 3/8 ID 1/2 OD tubinghttp://www.frozencpu.com/products/10033/ex-tub-601/Bitspower_G_14_Thread_38_ID_x_12_OD_Compression_Fitting_-_Matte_Black_BP-MBCPF-CC2.html

Hi Shane,as you know these meters are very sensible. Off 2 Amps looks like mech. damage. When you move the meter the needle should move free in either direction. There is a black plastic screw below the gage. Here you may adjust the needle, but not sure whether such a large misalingement of 2 Amps. Does the Ampmeter works anyway????Good luck my friend

I didn't use the 1/4 plastic hose. I used 1/4" copper tube. Just insert it into the powermate unloader port. On the compressor head I screwed in a 3/8" male npt to 1/4" compression fitting. Incert the other end of tube and tighten. Hope this helps

I'm fairly certain that you do not have 1/2 in abs because abs is almost exclusively used as drain pipe. That aside, you will have to buy a fitting that fits whatever type of water line you are tying into which converts to a PEX crimp fitting. PEX comes in lots of sizes 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 in being the most common. 1/2 in lines generally run to toilets, sinks, dishwasher, etc. whereas smaller lines run to things like you refrigerator and larger lines run to things like your hot water tank. Short answer: use 1/2 in PEX.

I would suggest try 3 tubes and do it religiously and if it doesn't work don't buy it again :)

I think the 1/2 cc syringe may be too short for the needle to come out of the sleeve but I cannot be sure. I use a 1.0cc but only use .20 in the syringe. it is a fantastic help to inject yourself. I would never attempt without the inject ease. If you switch to the 1.0ml syringes I am sure it will work for you.

you will need a pex 1/2 inch female fitting to connect to the 1/2 inch male off the pump inlet and outlet with this you can use pex piping

I use 3/8 x 5/8. I've used 3/8 x 1/2 tubing in the past, but I prefer 3/8 x 5/8. Also, invest in the M20 fill port if you decide to get this.

You would need to cut out the copper pipe and use a shark bite type connector. So to answer the question, no. This is only for pex piping.

To be sure go buy a one inch male pipe thread coupling. It has the male on both ends looks tapered (large in middle gets smaller on the tips) hold it up to the one going into yours. 3/4 and 1" are pretty different look at both at the store maybe even get both you can return them. You will know right away.

I used 1/2" Female pipe by 3/4" pex. The valve is 1/2" but I wanted to upsize the pex tubing for increased flow.

If you're going to use Aluminum SER (Service Entrance Rated) cable, be advised it's thick and harder to work with than copper but available at your big orange box store. I spent a lot of time looking into this and without getting technical, I went with 1/0. Google "Allowable Ampacities of Insulated Conductors" and remember that you can't necessarily look to the 90 degree column and that inspectors will re-rate, or reduce the allowed amperage based on other factors. For my short run to me it was better to go bigger and be sure.

If a regular connector works these will too. They make contact by piercing into each conductor when crimped. Unless you have a EZ crimp tool from Platinum I wouldn't buy these. This tool trims the edge where the wires poke out. I initially tried to make these work with an incompatible tool . Bought a platinum EZ crimp tool and they work great. Hope that helps.
