PEX Expansion Tool for ProPex Type Expansion Ring Connection

F1960 connection is made by placing a compression ring onto tube, expanding tubing and ring, inserting a full-flow fitting, and holding in place until tube/ring memory secures the connection.

  • Designed exclusively for use within Type A PEX piping systems.
  • Convenient carrying case, tool, 3/8'', 1/2'', 3/4'', 1'' expander heads and grease.
  • Expands Type A PEX pipe for ASTM F1960 expansion-style fittings.

Installation Problems:

  • Be sure tubing is cut squarely, tube is inserted into sleeve completely and fitting is inserted fully into tube/sleeve.
  • No rotation between expansions, or defective expansion head leaving a groove as a potential leak path.
  • Damaged sealing barb will not seal properly.
  • Failure to rotate tool inside tubing may cause unequal expansion. Remove any rings with unequal expansion.
