Before getting started, make sure you have the right size crimp rings and fittings for your PEX tubing. Having all the necessary components on hand will help ensure a smooth and successful project.

Copper pipe crimping tools, or press tools, come in various types, each designed to suit different applications and user preferences. Here are some of the common types: Now that the pipe and fitting are in place, it's time to align the crimping tool. Open thecrimping tool jawsand position them around the crimp ring. If you find any issues during this tactile inspection, it's crucial to correct them by removing and re-crimping the connection.Type of crimp: There are different crimps, like PEX and press crimps. For example, PEX crimping tools are designed for crimping copper rings onto PEX pipes, while press crimping tools are for joining copper pipes using press fittings. Select the tool that fits the crimp type of the application.

To use a plumbing crimping tool, start by positioning the pipe and fitting. First,cut the pipeto the desired length using a tube cutter. Battery operated: Battery-operated tools are easier to use and suitable for larger projects. But they require regular charging and are more expensive.

Crimp the fitting: With the crimping jaws securely attached, place the crimping tool over the press fitting. Ensure the tool is perpendicular to the pipe to achieve a uniform crimp. Once the tool is in place, squeeze the handle to start crimping. Some tools may require multiple crimps around the fitting to ensure a proper seal.
