10 Pieces XFITTING 3/4 Pex A Expansion Ball Valve - Red/Hot and Blue/Cold

Types of PEX-A Fittings: Expansion fittings are the most commonly used type of fittings for PEX-A tubing. These fittings have larger diameters compared to the tubing itself, making them easy to install. An expansion tool is used to expand the tubing, allowing the fitting to be smoothly inserted. As the tubing contracts, a tight seal is formed around the fitting.

Installation Steps for PEX-A Fittings: 1. Prepare the Pipe: Cut the PEX-A tubing to the desired length using a PEX pipe cutter, known for its flexibility and shape memory. 2. Expand the Tubing: Use an expansion tool to enlarge the end of the PEX-A tubing, facilitating the insertion of the expansion fitting. 3. Insert the Fitting: Quickly insert the expansion fitting into the expanded tubing end, ensuring it is fully seated for a proper seal. 4. Allow the Tubing to Contract: As the tubing contracts back to its original size, a secure seal is created around the fitting without additional seals or rings. 5. Pressure Test: After installing all fittings, pressure test the PEX-A system by pressurizing it with air or water and monitoring for leaks.
