Product Description
3/4” PEX EXPANSION RING WITH STOP
IWISS expansion rings are used to join PEX-A pipe and F-1960 expansion fittings. Expansion sleeves are engineered with a bevel along the leading edge to ease pipe insertion and an integrated stop to ensure proper placement of the sleeve.
ProPEX style (works with Uponor, Sioux Chief, Mr PEX & others)
F1960 cold-expansion fittings make solid, permanent, manufactured connections without the need for torches, glues, solder, flux or gauges. The unique shape memory of crosslinked polyethylene (PEX-a) tubing forms a tight seal around the fitting, creating a strong, reliable connection. This type of joining system is very robust and creates a reliable joint but requires an expansion tool with a different head for each size of tubing. This type of joint is made by placing a PEX ring over the end of the tubing and expanding the tubing until a fitting can be pushed in and the “memory” of the PEX shrinks onto the fitting.

General Connection Tips
- If the fitting does not slide into the tubing all the way to the stop, immediately remove it from the tubing and expand the tubing
one final time.
Note:
To avoid over-expanding the tubing, do not hold the tubing in the expanded position.
- Experience, technique and weather conditions influence the actual number of expansions. Fewer expansions may be necessary under certain
conditions. The correct number of expansions is the amount necessary for the tubing and the shoulder of the fitting to fit snugly together.
