Product Information

Hydraulic: These tools use hydraulic force to crimp the fittings onto the pipe. They are designed for heavy-duty tasks. If you find any issues during this tactile inspection, it's crucial to correct them by removing and re-crimping the connection.

First, take a close look at the crimped connection. Make sure the ring or sleeve is tightly compressed around the pipe and fitting. You want to see a uniform, smooth surface around the connection. Lastly, consider the quality and durability of the crimp tool you're selecting. A well-built, high-quality tool is an investment that can serve you well for years to come. To use a plumbing crimping tool, start by positioning the pipe and fitting. First,cut the pipeto the desired length using a tube cutter.

Press-fit fittings delivered quickly

By applying even pressure around a crimp ring, the tool forms a tight seal between the pipe and fitting, creating a reliable and lasting connection.

Adjusting the mechanism usually involves tightening or loosening a screw or knob, depending on your tool's design. Be sure to consult your tool's user manual for specific instructions on how to make these adjustments. Prepare the crimping tool: Select the correct size of crimping jaws for the crimping tool based on the size of the pipe and fitting. Attach the jaws to the tool following the manufacturer's instructions. Available in various sizes, the PEX Crimp Tool covers common tubing dimensions, such as 3/8-inch, 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch. Here's a brief overview of how to use it: To use the handles efficiently, hold them at a comfortable angle and apply even pressure, squeezing them together with a steady motion. If necessary, you can use both hands for better control and stability. Battery operated: Battery-operated tools are easier to use and suitable for larger projects. But they require regular charging and are more expensive.

The right fittings for the job

For copper pipe connections, theCopper Crimp Toolis essential. Unlike PEX, copper piping requires special copper press fittings and matching copper crimp rings. Look for a crimp tool with ergonomic handles that will be comfortable to use, especially if you'll be working on a large-scale project.

Squeeze the tool's handles tightly to compress the crimp ring and firmly secure the pipe to the fitting.Ensure that you choose a crimp tool that's compatible with the material of the pipes in your project. For instance, if you're working with PEX pipes, look for a PEX crimp tool. Using these crimping tools makes it easier to create airtight and watertight connections in your plumbing projects.

When working with your crimping tool, always make sure to wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, to ensure your well-being. Selecting a copper pipe crimper involves considering the application's specific requirements. Here are some factors to consider: Simply slide the gauge over the crimped ring or sleeve, and if it moves smoothly over the connection, the crimp has been done correctly. If the gauge doesn't fit or feels tight, the crimp may need to be adjusted. Identify the right copper pipe size: Using a measuring tape and marker, measure and mark the correct length of copper pipe needed for the project. This will compress the crimp ring around the pipe and fitting, creating a secure and watertight connection. Once complete, release the handles and remove the tool from the crimped ring.Pipe size: Copper pipes come in different sizes, and selecting a crimping tool that matches the pipe size is crucial. Some crimping tools are adjustable and can work with various pipe sizes, while others are fixed and designed for one specific pipe size. Another aspect to consider is the handle length and comfort of the tool. Using a crimp tool requires a considerable amount of force, and a longer handle can provide better leverage.
