Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this tool be used on copper pipes?

This tool is specifically designed for PEX, aluminum-plastic, and stainless steel tubes. It is not intended for use on copper plumbing.

How do I know when the crimp is finished?

The crimp is finished once the hydraulic pressure reaches the limit, often indicated by the handles meeting or feeling maximum resistance.

Is the carrying case waterproof?

The case is designed for heavy-duty organization and protection, but it is not rated as waterproof.

What maintenance does the hydraulic system require?

Periodically check the tool for leaks and ensure the pivot pins are free of debris. Do not attempt to open the hydraulic cylinder unless you are a qualified technician.

Are the jaws interchangeable between PEX and stainless steel?

No, you must use the specific TH-series jaws for PEX/aluminum-plastic and the V-series jaws for stainless steel to ensure a proper connection.

Troubleshooting

The crimp is not fully closing.

Ensure the pipe is pushed fully into the fitting and verify that the correct jaw size for the pipe diameter is being used.

Hydraulic handle feels 'mushy' or loses pressure.

Check that the pressure relief valve is fully tightened and ensure there is sufficient hydraulic fluid in the system.

Difficulty rotating the head.

Clean any debris or metal shavings from the head rotation track and apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive set of 9 total jaws covers most common pipe sizes
  • Hydraulic assist significantly reduces the manual force required
  • Swiveling head design is perfect for tight installation spots
  • Sturdy iron handle construction ensures long-term durability

Cons

  • Weight of the tool can cause fatigue during prolonged use
  • Requires manual effort to cycle the hydraulic pump
  • Large number of loose components requires disciplined organization

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the tool, open the jaw latches and insert the appropriate die set for your specific pipe diameter. Ensure the jaws are seated securely before starting the crimping process. The tool is compatible with both PEX/aluminum-plastic pipes and stainless steel tubes, provided the correct die set is used. To care for your tool, keep the jaw pivot points clean and lubricated with a light machine oil. Regularly inspect the hydraulic seals for any signs of fluid leakage, and always store the device in its included case to prevent dirt or grit from entering the hydraulic mechanism.
