PEX INSTALLATION GUIDE

This tutorial is designed to help you to understand the general techniques

used to make a PEX crimp connection. It offers the total lowest material

cost.

Tools：

To make a PEX connection using a crimp method, you will need the following：

① PEX tubing

② Brass or poly PEX crimp fitting

③ PEX crimp ring

④ PEX tools：PEX crimp tool、PEX cutter、PEX decrimping tool（optional）

Installs：

Step1：Cut the PEX tubing. To ensure you have a smooth and even cut, position

the cutter at 90 degrees to the tubing. A rough or uneven cut will result in a

weakened joint.

Step2：Slide the correct size PEX crimp ring and over the tubing approximately

2" past the end.

Step3：Fully insert the LTWFITTING PEX fitting into the PEX tubing so that the

fitting’s shoulder touches the tubing. Position the PEX crimp ring 1/8"-1/4" from

the end of the tubing. This distance ensures that the clamp ring is positioned

directly over the barbs on the fitting.

Step4：Open the PEX crimp tool’s jaws. Position the PEX crimp tool over the

crimp ring evenly, at 90-degrees to the tubing. Make sure that jaws of the tool are

centered over the crimp ring and it stays in place.

Step5：Close the crimp tool’s jaws completely.

Step6：Verify that the connection is secure by using the go-no-go gauge. The

gauge slot that corresponds to the crimp ring size should easily slide onto the

compressed crimp ring.
