Description

Bluefin crimp fittings are compatible with PEX tubing. Crimp fittings are barbed for installation inside tubing after which a crimp ring or cinch clamp is used to hold the fitting onto the tubing.

Copper PEX rings are crimped using a Crimp Tool to an acceptable diameter then checked by a diameter Go-No-Go Gauge. Copper PEX rings are designed to go over PEX tubing to lock in barbed PEX crimp fittings onto the tubing. High quality material and manufacturing insure a tight seal over PEX tubing using a pex crimping Tool.

Pex crimp rings

Are you really reading a review about crimp rings? It must be late. Go to bed. These withstand pressure. Apparently, you are under a lot of pressure because you are reading a review about crimp rings. Go to bed before you blow a seal.

1" Crimp rings don't crimp properly.

I was adding some plumbing into my existing house with Type-A pex, but I went with Rifeng type B pex for my work due to the price. I used Rifling pipe, fittings, and crimp rings. I did a few 3/4" crimps, and they were fine! However, the 1" crimps are impossible. Every one of them crimps oval. I even got to the point where I bought a different crimp tool, and had the same result. The crimps are level and even all the way around, but they just don't crimp evenly. They pass the go no go gauge if I put it on the crimp ring a certain way, but if I turn the gauge, it won't turn. Very dissapointed in these.

Get a cleaner alternative

Good price, but coated with stubborn dark oil that's like thread cutting oil. Not worth saving a few dollars to have to spend time cleaning them. If you leave these rings uncleaned, the oil eventually gets all over your fingers, the pipework, and the outcome looks messy, especially on white pipe. Not a one off. I bought a second bag, thinking the first bag was just a dirty batch. At least they work fine.

Extremly hard to crimp

We normally don't have a issue with crimp rings, but we have received some that take two hands to crimp the ring. Then the final crimp doesn't look right.

Pex products

I use these every day on the job and sometimes I have to buy from local stores, cost base difference is sometimes 40-50% less and with the same quality of product.

I would NOT buy again

For some reason, unknown to me, these crimp rings are covered in some black substance. My guess is corrosion inhibitor. This makes for a dirty, oily installation. They seem a bit oversized and does not fit in my crimp tool very well either which causes issues.

Only complaint, greasy

We've used this product over and over, works great. I just wish they weren't so greasy. Anytime we install them on white PEX, the job is a mess, black grease smudges everywhere, and we have to spend time cleaning it so the finished product doesn't look sloppy when the client sees it.

Q: Are these compatible with 3/8 polybutylene tubing?

Hi Russell. No, these are for use with 3/8" PEX tubing only. You would specifically need to use 3/8" polybutylene rings, which unfortunately we do not currently sell by themselves.

Yes, the crimp connection system is suitable for hot water installation. The max temp would be 200 degrees F.

the pex crimp system is compatible with cold water, hot water, and glycol. all pex tube is ok for hot or cold water. they are available in colors to identify use. there is special tube for in floor glycol heating, but crimp is the same. there are other crimp or connectors that work with pex that commercial plumbers use that require special equipment. I am not a plumber by trade but have used pex ring connector system for years and feel it is the only way to go. I have never had a problem. you should however by quality crimpers and check your connections with a guage to insure a proper crimp. hope this helps.

It is not recommended to have any fittings under ground. With that said, I believe that the pex crimp fittings will do as well as any other fittings in a direct burial situation. Take care to bury the whole pipeline in clean sand free of stones. You may want to use some 2" vinyl tape on the fittings to help with moisture protection, but I'm not sure that's really needed. Thanks, J Jay Clark - Managing Partner Critical Infrastructure Mapping LLC

Yes, as with any metal underground it would always be best to put a sleeve over it.

Q: Do you measure the outside diameter of the ring or the insde?

Crimp rings are sized based on the nominal size of the PEX with which they are compatible. This 5/8" ring (part HCRIMP06) works with 5/8" PEX. 5/8" PEX has a .574" inside diameter and a .750" outside diameter.

It's the size of the piping that it fits on. The ring diameter has nothing to do with the size.

Was this review helpful to you?

if it's a 1/2" crimp ring it will fit on 1/2" pex. The crimp ring slides over the pex, so even the ID is a bit bigger than 1/2", but it gets squashed there and will fit.

Was this review helpful to you?

Dave, The ring is sold as a match to pex pipe which comes in standard sizes of 3/8, 1/2, 3/4, and 1" sizes. Normally, pipe is sold with the measurement meaning the inside diameter (or ID) as it is referred to. The crimp ring will have and inside diameter that will be a little bit larger than the OD (outside diameter) of the pex pipe. Whatever size pipe you feel you need for fluid transport (as listed earlier) you buy the crimps to match. They are not sold by their actual size but for the pipe they are used on.

Was this review helpful to you?

Typically you buy the crimp rings depending on the size of pipe you are using it on. If you have 5/8" PEX then buy 5/8" crimp rings. If you are using them for something besides PEX (which I wouldn't reccomend) typically PEX sizes are mesured by outer diamter, and crimp rings are designed to fit over the outside of the pipe, so a 5/8" crimp ring would have an inside diameter of 5/8"

Q: The 1" copper crimp ring says in the description it is designed for use with the Watts clamping tool but I don't see a Watts tool capable of handling the 1" ring. Can the Viega tool be used with the 1" copper crimp ring?

Viega tool can be used with the copper rings. I did my whole house using this system with the half inch. The one inch tool is just more expensive. Sent from my iPhone

Yes, I believe aquaPEX is not the oxygen barrier, so it should work. You will need a crimping tool to crimp them down.

Yes, the Wirsbo Aquapex tubing fits standard copper compression rings. Aquapex is a very high-quality tubing well suited to compression fittings. I have had no problems in three years of use, even though parts of the lines have frozen solid several times. -- Sent from my HP TouchPad

Crimp fittings are not available for 1-1/4" PEX. You may want to consider ProPEX fittings (only compatible with PEX-A) or the 1-1/4" WIPEX fitting.
