INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING ASTM F1960 EXPANSION FITTINGS FOR
JONES STEPHENS PEX-A TUBING
English
1. Using a cutting tool designed for use with PEX
pipe, measure and cut pipe to desired length. Cut
at 90˚, ensuring not to crush or deform the outer
diameter. Be sure to make a square cut. An uneven
or jagged cut may result in an improper connection.
3. Remove the expander head from the tool and
remove any dirt and debris. Using a clean, lint-free
cloth, apply a thin coating of expander cone grease
to the expander cone. Do not over-lubricate or coat
the inside of the pipe.
2. Slide the PEX ring/sleeve onto the PEX pipe until it
reaches the stop tab.
4. Insert the expander head into the PEX-A pipe. Pull
the trigger. The expander head will expand, retract,
and rotate slightly in each cycle. Note that some
expander heads will not rotate automatically. If this
is the case, gently push the pipe onto the expander
head and rotate 1/8 turn in either direction.
