Product Overview
Connect pieces of different-sized PEX pipe together. Compatible with crimp or clamp rings. Certified for use in potable water and hydronic heating systems.
Using the PEX plastic pipe cutters to cut the pipe to length, making sure that you have a good square cut. Slide the correct size Sharkbite clamp or crimp ring over the pipe approximately 2" past the end of the pipe. Push the pipe onto the Sharkbite barbed fitting until it touches the fitting shoulder. Position the clamp or crimp ring 1/8"-1/4" from the end of the tube. When making clamp connections, position the open jaws of the clamp tool over the raised tabs of the clamp ring and squeeze. Verify the connection is secure by visually checking the clamp tab. Make crimp connections by placing the jaws of the crimp tool over the copper crimp ring and squeezing until the jaws close completely. Verify that the connection is secure using the go / no-go gauge.
