“Prior to yesterday, I'd never clamped a Pex fitting before. Using a tool that came recommended to me, I clamped several of these fittings, with relative easy. Pop the clamp into the tool. Squeeze the handle shut. DONE.The fittings I placed, so far, aren't leaking, even on tubing that was a bit suspect. Somehow I doubt that they will.”
“I am doing a large re-piping at a farmhouse I am renovating this weekend. Replacing a spaghetti mess of copper pipes with pex. These look to be good quality crimp rings. Will provide an update after putting them through their paces in about a week.”
“So they are really loose on the pipe, but they tighten down fine with my ryobi pinch clamp tool. No leaks out of the few I've installed in my well house. Pex is nice because if it's not leaking now, it's highly unlikely to leak later. I still recommend sticking with the same brand for the rings and tubing/fittings. Better warranty that way.”
