Q:I didn't fully seat the pipe on the fitting. No water has ever been through the lines or the fitting can I cut the expansion ring and reuse the fitting?

Answer This Question

A:  you can cut the ring but if you damage the barb on the fitting I would use a new one

by|Jan 3, 2023

    A:  Yes, it is easy. Just cut through the sleeve about 90% of the way, then use a slotted screwdriver in the cut, twist to break it apart, that way you won't damage your fitting. Take a heat gun or hair dryer to heat up the pex, it will pull right off. Now if you go too far with the utility knife and nick the fitting don't risk it, replace it.

      A:  You can if it isn’t damaged in any way.

            by|May 5, 2020

            Answer This Question

            A:  Yes, Milwaukee's Powered Expansion Tool is compatible with Apollo PEX-A pipe, sleeves, and fittings.

            by|May 7, 2020

              A:  Yes. The 12v version was more than adequate for me to run a 28 port home run system in our home.

              by|Dec 31, 2022

                A:  Yes, the Milwaukee's expansion tool was designed for these fittings. Just need the Head for each size pipe that is being installed, Like the 1/2 in., 3/4, and 1 in. The size heads only fits one size pipe fitting.

                          Works great. I prefer pex-a as the fittings are the same size of the pipe and this don’t get resistance like the pex-b fittings that are smaller than the pipe.

                          Seem OK
                          I was using Shark Bite and they worked great. But I ran out of fittings in the middle of a job ob. So I grabbed a pack of these 90 deg fittings because HD was close. Two leaked upon pressurizing the system. So I decided to remove pressure from the system overnight and see if I could get lucky. After pressuring it up again in the morning, no leaks. That was three days ago and still good. Shew!

                            Human error
                            Some customers say fitting is too big for the pex pipe, but this is for pex-a pipe and it is install with a sleeve and a expansion tool I’m sorry they didn’t know but they should take the one star for themselves for not knowing how to use the correct fitting and pipe…
