Product Description
ASTM F1960 PEX EXPANSION RING EXPANDING TOOL
Scope
The F1960 cold expansion fitting system consists of ASTM F1960 cold expansion fittings (F1960 fittings) in polymer and lead-free brass, and PEX reinforcing rings (PEX rings), for use with PEXa shield pipe for potable plumbing system applications and barrier pipe for hydronic radiant heating and cooling system applications. The F1960 fitting system is intended for use in hot- and cold-water potable systems and hydronic heating and cooling systems.
Quick Guide
1. Square cut the PEX tubing perpendicular to the length of the tubing.
2. Slide the ProPEX Ring over the end of the tubing until it reaches the stop edge.
3. Fully expand tubing for several times and rotate tubing during each expansion.
Cold-weather Expansions
Temperatures affect the time required for the tubing and ring to shrink onto the fitting. The colder the temperature, the slower the contraction time.
