Disconnecting a ProPEX brass fitting

ProPEX brass and EP fittings are manufactured connections that 

can be concealed in walls, ceilings, and floors. When necessary, 

ProPEX brass fittings can be disconnected.
Important! EP fittings cannot be reclaimed.
Refer to the following guidelines for disconnecting a ProPEX 

brass fitting.

1.  Ensure the system  

is not pressurized.

2.  Use a utility knife to carefully  

cut through the ProPEX ring.

    Important! Do not heat the  

ring prior to cutting it. Take  

care to cut only the ring  

and not the piping or fitting.  

Gouges in the fitting may  

result in leaks. If you  

accidentally damage the  

fitting, you must discard it.

3.  Remove the ProPEX ring  

from the piping.

4.  After removing the ring, 

apply heat directly around 

the fitting and piping 

connection. Do not use  

open flame. Gently work  

the piping back and forth while pulling slightly away from  

the fitting until the piping separates from the fitting.
