Such a versatile plumbing tool! #powertools #plumbing #plumber
What happens here
With the PEX pipe correctly seated in the fitting, position the press tool's PEX jaws around the metal crimp ring of the fitting. Ensure the jaws are squarely aligned over the ring. Activate the press tool by engaging its trigger or button. The tool will automatically apply the precise amount of force needed to crimp the fitting securely. Once the crimping cycle is complete, the tool will release, and the PEX connection will be permanently sealed and ready for use. The process is quick and efficient, producing a reliable joint.
Goal: Securely crimp the PEX fitting to the pipe.
