CAUTION: Using incorrectly sized expansion heads may
result faulty connection, possibly resulting in damage
to property.
To create a proper PEX tubing connection:
1. Select appropriate expander head
and, if needed, remove any dirt and debris.
2. Using a clean, lint-free cloth, apply a thin coat of D
DCE400GR grease to the expander cone
over-lubricate.
3. Make a perpendicular cut to PEX tubing to the needed
length. Use OnLY cutters designed for PEX tubing.
4. Slide the PEX Ring
until it sits properly against the ring stop. If the PEX ring
does not have a stop, leave an over-hang of no more than
1.6 mm (Fig. E).
5. Insert the expander head into the PEX tubing (Fig. F).
6. Squeeze the trigger switch
to expand, retract, and rotate slightly.
nOTE: Hold the ring and tubing so they do not rotate with
the head.

remove the tubing when the expander cone
retracted and release the trigger switch
the PEX tubing beyond the tool's capacity of 32 mm (up to
2.9 mm wall thickness).
8. Wipe off the excess grease from inside the PEX tubing.
9. Slide the PEX tubing over the fitting until it is flush with the
fitting shoulder. The connection may be tight. If you are
unable to slide the PEX tubing over the fitting, remove the
fitting from the PEX tubing and re-expand until you can
secure a proper fit.
nOTE: The PEX tubing should fit tightly against the fitting
shoulder. If there is more than a 1.6 mm gap between the PEX
tubing and the shoulder, cut 50 mm off the end of the PEX tubing
and restart procedure with a new PEX Ring.
Cold Weather Use
Use of your PEX expander in colder temperatures (4 °C) requires
a longer contraction time and less expansions. Attempting
to make PEX connections in extreme temperatures (-15 °C) is
not recommended.
