2 Pack XFITTING 3/4 Pex A Expansion x 3/4 Male Ball Valve, Full Port, Brass

Types of PEX-A Fittings:

Expansion fittings are the most common type of fitting used with PEX-A tubing. These fittings have larger diameters than the tubing itself and are installed by expanding the tubing with a specialized tool. This process allows the fitting to be easily inserted, and as the tubing contracts, it forms a tight seal around the fitting.

Installation Steps for PEX-A Fittings:

To install PEX-A fittings, start by preparing the pipe. Cut the tubing to the desired length using a PEX pipe cutter. PEX-A tubing is known for its flexibility and shape memory, making it easy to work with and bend around obstacles. Next, use an expansion tool to expand the tubing, creating a larger opening for the fitting to be inserted smoothly. Quickly insert the fitting into the expanded end of the tubing, ensuring it is fully seated for a proper seal. As the tubing contracts back to its original size, it forms a secure and leak-proof connection without the need for additional seals. After all fittings are installed, pressure test the system to check for leaks.
