With Auto Rotation
4. When using a ProPEX
Hand Expander Tool with
the ProPEX Auto Rotation
Adapter, simply hold the
tubing and tool in place
while separating and closing
the handles to expand the
tubing. The Auto Rotation
Adapter will automatically
rotate to ensure the tubing
is evenly expanded. Continue
expanding until the tubing
and ring are snug against the
shoulder on the expander
head. See Table 3-1 on
page 13 for the recommended
number of expansions for
each tubing size.
5. After the final expansion,
immediately remove the tool
and insert the fitting.
Ensure the tubing and
ring seat against the
shoulder of the fitting.
Important! You should feel
some resistance as the fitting
goes into the tubing. If you
do not feel any resistance,
the tubing may be over
expanded and will require
additional time to shrink over
the fitting.
