This project provides a detailed guide on how to utilize a versatile press tool for PEX plumbing connections. It covers switching the tool's jaws from ProPress to PEX, ensuring proper pipe insertion into Viega press PEX fittings using their visual indicator, and performing a secure crimp to create a leak-proof connection.

half inch and 3/4 ProPress and half inch and 3/4 press PEX. Okay, so I can do both of these with one tool just by switching out the jaws. To change out the jaws, you just grab this knurled button right here, push it in, twist it left, it ejects, pop this one off, take the new one, pop it in, locks itself in place, and we're ready to crimp. Make sure that your PEX is in far enough. With these Viega press PEX fittings, when there is PEX in that hole, it's going to be covered up. Like, you can see that's black right now. Once we get that the whole way in, that's the indicator to tell you that your PEX is where it needs to be, right over the fitting. Slaps in, fits perfect. Light, easy, right in there.
