Questions & Answers
Does this tool come with a half inch and 3/4-in head
No, this listing is for the tool only and does not include any expansion heads. For the complete kit, please search for EPXTOOLKIT.
Can I use shark bite connectors with pex pipe
Yes
Can you use WD-40 or another type of lubricant instead of the grease specified to lubricate where the expander goes? If I do use WD-40 now, can I switch to grease later on?
No, it needs to be PEX EXPANDER GREASE.
Does this tool auto rotate.
Tool does not auto rotate. You will need to rotate as you're making the expansion.
Does this product come with grease? If not, can you please link the correct grease at Home Depot?
No, grease is not included. Keep in mind this is the tool ONLY. The EPXTOOLKIT will include the grease and all the heads to do 1/2", 3/4" and 1". Below is link to the grease from Milwauke. https://www.milwaukeetool.com/products/49-08-2400
Do you make a 1-1/4” head for this tool?
not at this time we dont.
Does it expand to 2??
This tool is capable of expanding PEX-a pipe from 1/2 inch to 1 inch. It does not expand to 2".
is this tool for propex pipe?
This tool is designed for use with PEX-A pipe, not ProPEX. While both are cross-linked polyethylene pipes, they use different connection methods. PEX-A uses an expansion method, which this tool is designed for, while ProPEX typically uses a crimp connection method.
This tool is designed for use with PEX-A pipe, not ProPEX. While both are cross-linked polyethylene pipes, they use different expansion methods. ProPEX uses a "cold expansion" method, while this tool and the associated system are designed specifically for the "expansion" method used with PEX-A pipe.
