Cut the PEX tubing to the desired length using a PEX cutter.
Slide a crimp ring onto the end of the tubing.
Insert the PEX fitting into the end of the tubing, making sure it is fully seated.
Use a crimping tool to crimp the ring around the fitting and tubing. The tool should have jaws that match the size of the crimp ring and fitting being used.
Repeat the process for any additional fittings or connections needed.
how to remove pex fittings?
Turn off the water supply: Before starting to remove PEX fittings, turn off the water supply to avoid any leaks.
Cut the PEX pipe: Use a PEX cutter or a sharp blade to cut the PEX pipe as close to the fitting as possible.
Remove the crimp ring: Using pliers, squeeze the crimp ring and pull it away from the fitting.
Heat the fitting: Use a heat gun or a propane torch to heat the fitting for about 30 seconds. This will help soften the PEX and make it easier to remove.
Pull the fitting: Using pliers or wrenches, grip the fitting and twist it while pulling it away from the PEX. Be gentle and slow to avoid damaging the pipe.
Clean up the end of the PEX: After removing the fitting, clean up any burrs or rough edges on the end of the PEX with a deburring tool or sandpaper.
Install a new fitting: If you need to replace the old fitting, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install a new one.
