FAQs

1. Can I use these tools with PEX-B or PEX-C pipe?

No, cold expansion is only compatible with PEX-A pipe due to its unique molecular structure and flexibility.

2. Are manual or powered expansion tools better?

Manual tools are fine for smaller jobs or occasional use, but powered tools are faster and less fatiguing for larger projects.

3. How do I know when the pipe is properly expanded?

You should follow the manufacturer's instructions, but generally, you rotate the tool while expanding to ensure an even expansion until the pipe reaches the shoulder of the tool head.

4. What maintenance do the expander heads require?

Expander heads require minimal maintenance, but they should be cleaned of debris and occasionally lubricated as per the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure smooth operation.

5. What is the lifespan of a typical expander head?

With proper care and maintenance, a high-quality expander head can last for many thousands of expansions, making them a cost-effective investment for professionals.
