Crimping Tools for Press-Connect Fittings for Drinking Water
- Tubing: Use with hard polyethylene plastic
Create a leak-tight seal between polyethylene (PEX) tubing and press-connect fittings for drinking water—no heat or solder necessary. The ratchet action lets you apply the right amount of pressure for a complete crimp. To ensure you’re using the correctly sized tool, they are color coded to match the compatible fittings. These tools are compatible with Viega PEX tubing and Viega PureFlow Press fittings.
Copper tube size is the accepted designation of the copper tubing industry, not the actual tube OD.
Polyethylene (PEX) Tube Cutters
Cut PEX tubing with one or two twists. These cutters automatically adjust pressure during cutting to prevent distorting the tube end, so it's easy to attach fittings.
