10 Packs XFITTING 3/8 Pex Poly Alloy Elbow

Types of PEX Fittings:

Crimp Fittings: The most common type of PEX fittings that require a crimp tool to compress a metal ring (crimp ring) around the PEX pipe and fitting to create a secure connection.

Push-Fit Fittings: Also known as push-to-connect or quick-connect fittings, these fittings do not require any special tools. They have a ring inside that securely grips the PEX pipe when pushed together.

Compression Fittings: These fittings use compression nuts and rings to create a watertight seal, often used for repairs or transitioning between PEX and other pipe types.

Expansion Fittings: These fittings utilize a specialized tool to expand the PEX pipe, allowing the fitting to slide inside. When the pipe returns to its original size, it creates 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: Use a deburring tool to remove any rough edges or burrs from the cut end of the pipe to ensure a smooth connection. 3. Insert the Fitting: For crimp fittings, slide the crimp ring onto the pipe first, then insert the fitting into the end of the pipe until it reaches the shoulder of the fitting. 4. Crimp the Ring: Position the crimp ring over the fitting and pipe joint, ensuring it is centered, and use a crimp tool to compress the ring firmly around the pipe. 5. Check the Connection: Visually inspect the connection to ensure that the crimp ring is fully compressed without any gaps between the pipe and fitting. 6. Pressure Test: After installing all fittings, pressure test the system to check for leaks by pressurizing the system with air or water and monitoring pressure drops.

Tips for Working with PEX Fittings: - Use PEX-specific fittings for compatibility and reliability. - Follow manufacturer guidelines and plumbing codes. - Use appropriate size and type of fitting for your PEX pipe. - Properly support and secure PEX piping to prevent leaks. - Consider expansion fittings for tight spaces or challenging installations. - Keep spare fittings on hand for unexpected repairs.
