Dan, I actually used the expansion ring to repair my garden hose fitting, (instead of the old screw clamp)just expanded a 3/4 ring using a 1" inch expander head, it worked great
Not rated for UV exposure... painting or covering with tape is recommended.
Dan, thank you for the tips! I've been reading about Uponor ProPex for almost a 2 years now and I just bought an M12 and ProPex pipe and fittings to repipe my house. Thank you!
Oh no, did you use the red and blue Uponor pipe? Its been recalled, they don't sell it anymore...only the white stuff. Uponor has issues, doesn't work well with chloramine. it takes as little as 6 years before pin hole leaks occur if you have the red and blue stuff in your house.
@@johnbeckwith1361 Hi John, I used the clear/white stuff. But I didn't know about the recall. Whoa! Why did they not know this before? Seems they would have caught it in testing. I know TONS of people that have the Blue/Red stuff in their house.... Is Uponor going to pay for reinstallation? Heck, how long before they discover there is something wrong with the white/clear?🤮 Thanks, Jim
@@johnbeckwith1361 shark bite still sell the red and blue tubing
I was apprehensive about been able to spin the fitting...Thanks for answering mu questions...
Make a comfortable sling that you can wear around your neck and shoulder, about working height that you can just turn aloose and use both hands to make the connection. Apron to hold fittings.
Great. Now how do I protect the tubing and connectors from ultra violet light, sunlight? I was thinking about the aluminum tape?
What fittings do you recommend using, plastic or brass, and why
Get a belt clip attachment. A lot cheaper than having a guy stand there waiting to hand you the tool.
You make it look easy, but you are not typically doing these fittings in an open space, you are in a wall or ceiling cavity not as easy and probably all contorted getting to that space.
the expander leaves grease inside the pipe, is this a problem? and why does it leave the grease inside the pipe?
Just lightly grease the expansion head (the metal cone) on the inside before attaching it to the Milwaukee tool as needed. See manual. Then wipe off the exterior. This will keep grease off the ring and pipe.
Thanks for nothing Dan, I just lost my job as a tool holder🤔😕🤦♂️😂😂😂😂😂
You have too much resentment toward "that guy". I don't care about your insight because of it.
It seems like you are assuming resentment. I don't see it. I see a helpful tip that might help some people. Also: yes, people make mistakes. It is a sign of respect to tactfully point out repeated bad habits and mistakes, especially in a training, because it involves an optimism that people care and can change. People that don't point out your systematic mistakes sometimes think you are a lost cause.
