Troubleshooting ProPEX
®
Connections
If fittings will not seal, check for the following:
•
Is the expander head screwed on tightly?
Tighten
the head securely. Ensure the head is tight against
the tool.
•
Are the expander head segments bent or mis-
aligned?
Replace expander head.
•
Are the expander head segments failing to contract
between expansions?
Clean the head and lubricate
the cone. Ensure cogs are engaged.
Cogs
•
Is the expander cone over or under lubricated?
Clean and lubricate.
•
Is the fitting damaged?
Replace fitting.
•
Is the expander cone bent or damaged?
Return to
a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair.
•
Was the expander head held in the expanded posi-
tion before tubing was removed?
Cut 3"-5" (3" for 2"
PEX and 5" for 2.5" and 3" PEX) off the end of the
tubing and restart the procedure with a new ProPEX
®
Ring.
•
Was the tubing rotated slightly after each expan-
sion?
Cut 3"-5" (3" for 2" PEX and 5" for 2.5" and
3" PEX) off the end of the tubing and restart the
procedure with a new ProPEX
®
Ring.
•
Are the tubing and ProPEX
®
Ring clean and dry?
Wipe dry.
•
Is grease getting into the tubing from the expander
head?
Wipe grease from tubing. Clean the expander
head, ensuring excessive amounts of grease are not
present on the head.
If ProPEX
®
Ring slides during expansion:
•
Are the tubing and ProPEX
®
Ring clean and dry?
Wipe clean.
•
Are your hands clean and dry?
Wipe dry — oils from

•
Are you holding the ring in place?
Place your thumb
against the ring and hold in place during first couple
