its for the propex expander fittings, its easy to use
Our connections are often down in a floor box and there is no room for the crimper, so we use the expansion tool and the propex rings. Mike at Enertia Solar Homes
its just a different system it's an expandable pex with expandable joints the pext that is used must have a memory in it.it works pretty good no leaks. Sent from my Sprint phone.
Stability. The crimp rings can corrode. Especially important for plumbing buried in walls. If it's in a place you will likely make changes, shark bites may be better because you end up cutting out propex and the pipe gets shorter.
ProPEX fittings/rings only work with PEX-A grade tubing (not PEX-B, PEX-C, or PEX-AL-PEX).
You can use these rings only on type" A" pex tubing. Checked the tubing that you have and make sure it says type a.---------------------- I don't know if you're aware that these rings can only be put on within expansion tool. I think it's the strongest connection you can make.
You should only use the Pex pipe designed for that ring as all Pex pipe is not designed to expand.
Be careful! Some pex tubing should not be expanded.
My understanding is that the rings simply reinforce the holding properties of the Aquapex tubing. When using Aquapex, you might even be able to in practice get away without using these rings (though I'd never, ever try that). There are different grades of tubing, each of which has different properties. This is meant for use with the highest grade of tubing. If you were using another brand of the similar grade, these MIGHT work. But I wouldn't chance it. The only way I'd even think of trying it is if you contacted Uponor and they said yes, do it. Even then I'd be hesitant. If it ended up being the wrong choice, imagine all the labor exposing and replacing all of these, not to mention water damage from any leaks.
Hi, No; the Pro Pex system will only work with Pex-A. Pex-B does not have enough crosslinks and will not work with the ProPex system. So you can either use Pex-A or use the Stainless ring or the brass rings. You can also use those on Pex-A as well. Thanks
Those rings are to be used with aquapex tubing, not the tubing you buy at home depot, if the tubing is labeled aquapex, then you should be fine.
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It depends what type ring are you talking about plastic ring stainless steel ring? What type of fitting are you using pro pex or regular pex
Not sure what pex b tubing is but the pro pex ring has to be used with uponor pex tube Astley Plumbing & Heating LLC
There is no functional difference. Uponor is phasing out the colored rings (which can be used to differentiate hot and cold lines) and will only offer black-print rings going forward. Stops are meaningful difference between ProPEX rings of the same size. Rings with stops make it easy to know exactly how far the ring should go on to the tubing.
There is absolutely no difference between the red blue or black printed expansion rings. The red and blue ones are used to differentiate between the hot and cold lines on a white or single color pipe used for everything.
The red and blue printing can be used to indicated hot and cold supply when using pex that is NOT red and blue.
They are all the same colors are just to idenify the different lines
There is no difference They are the same except for the color. Red is hot and Blue is for cold Bob
ProPEX rings work with PEX-A tubing, ProPEX fittings, and an expansion tool (such as the Milwaukee 2432-22 kit).
Only one side of these rings will slip over the Uponor or Aquapex pipe. You then need an expander tool that slips into the end of the pipe and you then expand the pipe and ring together. The expander tool has a tapered head so you can gradually expand the pipe/ring combo until fully expanded. Withdraw the expander tool, quickly insert your fitting (elbow, tee, etc.) and hold for a few seconds while the pipe/ring shrink back down over the fitting.

The stops make it easier to place the ProPEX ring in the proper spot over the PEX tubing prior to making the expansion.
You will need 1/2" ProPEX rings.
