Cut the pipe
vertically by PEX pipe cutter. Make sure to cut it quickly and
precisely.
Step 2:
Choosing the right size of expander head for the expending
adapter.
There are
different sizes for pipe and
PEX fitting installation in the
kit, make sure selecting the right head before expanding. The
two handles of the expender must remain 90-degree opened for
installing the head.
Step 3:
Expending the Pipe end
a) Sliding the
sleeve on to the PEX pipe firstly but do not too close to the
pipe end, keep the handles of the expander 90-degree open while
fully inserting the expender head into the PEX pipe end.
b) Closing the
handles until they are locked with 30-degree opened between
them, then return to 90-degree position and pull the head out
off the PEX pipe.
Step 4:
Installation of PEX fitting
a) After expanding
the pipe end, fully slide the PEX fitting insert into the pipe
and move the sleeve near the expended PEX pipe end position.
b) Choosing the right
size of compression heads for the axial-pressing tool and
install the heads by following the tool instruction.
c) Placing the PEX
fitting and the sleeve on the compression groove at the right
position (as shown from the picture), then close and open up the
handles repeatedly along the ratchet bar until the sleeve is
stopped by the metal block on the fitting.
d) Remove the tool
head and check the compressing.
