Types of PEX Fittings: - The most common type of PEX fittings are crimp fittings, which require a crimp tool to compress a metal ring (crimp ring) around the PEX pipe and fitting, creating a secure connection. - Push-fit fittings, also known as push-to-connect or quick-connect fittings, do not require any special tools. They have a ring inside that grips the PEX pipe securely when pushed together. - Compression fittings utilize compression nuts and rings to create a watertight seal and are typically used for repairs or transitions between PEX and other pipe types. - Expansion fittings require a specialized tool to expand the PEX pipe, allowing the fitting to slide inside. Once the pipe returns to its original size, it forms a tight seal around the fitting.
Installation Steps: 1. Prepare the Pipe: Cut the PEX pipe to the required length using a PEX pipe cutter, ensuring a clean and square cut. 2. Deburr the Pipe: Remove any rough edges or burrs from the cut end of the pipe using a deburring tool to ensure a smooth connection. 3. Insert the Fitting: For crimp fittings, slide the crimp ring onto the pipe first, then insert the fitting until it reaches the shoulder. 4. Crimp the Ring: Center the crimp ring over the fitting and pipe joint and use a crimp tool to compress it firmly around the pipe. 5. Check the Connection: Visually inspect the connection to ensure the crimp ring is fully compressed and there are no gaps between the pipe and fitting. 6. Pressure Test: After installing all fittings, pressure test the system to check for leaks by pressurizing with air or water and monitoring for pressure drops over time.
Tips for Working with PEX Fittings: - Use PEX-specific fittings designed for PEX piping systems to ensure compatibility and reliability. - Adhere to manufacturer guidelines and local plumbing codes when selecting and installing PEX fittings. - Support and secure PEX piping properly to prevent stress on fittings and potential leaks. - Consider using expansion fittings for tight spaces or challenging crimp tool maneuvering situations. - Keep spare fittings on hand for unexpected repairs or modifications.
