Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use a PEX crimp tool for copper rings?
Slide the copper crimp ring over the PEX tubing, insert the ASTM F1807 barb fitting fully into the tubing, and position the ring 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the end. Place the crimp tool jaws squarely over the ring and compress the handles completely to form a secure connection.
How do I verify a properly crimped PEX connection?
After crimping, use a Go/No-Go gauge to check the connection. The “Go” slot should fit over the compressed ring, while the “No-Go” slot should not fit. This confirms the crimp meets dimensional requirements.
What is the difference between copper PEX crimp rings and stainless steel clamps?
Copper crimp rings are solid copper and are compressed evenly around the full circumference using a crimp tool. Stainless steel clamps use a pinch-style tool that tightens a single ear on the side of the clamp. Each system requires its specific compatible tool and fittings.
Are these copper crimp rings safe for drinking water systems?
Yes. These crimp rings are certified lead-free and suitable for use in residential and commercial potable drinking water distribution systems.
Can these copper crimp rings be used with cold expansion fittings?
No. These rings are designed exclusively for ASTM F1807 crimp barb fittings. They are not compatible with ASTM F1960 cold expansion fittings or expansion tools.
What is the maximum pressure rating for these PEX crimp rings?
These copper crimp rings are rated for a working pressure range of 0 to 150 PSI. Final system pressure limits depend on the specifications of the PEX tubing and fittings used.
Are these crimp rings available in smaller quantities?
These rings are commonly packaged in bags of 100 to provide cost efficiency for professional installers and larger projects.
