ProPEX vs. Other PEX Insert Fittings
• The larger internal diameter of ProPEX equates to a 25% greater flow rate
• ProPEX cold-expansion technique makes it impossible to overlook a connection, eliminating the concern and damage from blow offs due to dry-fit insert fittings
• The visual connection of ProPEX fittings also means no calibration is required
• Proven for more than 15 years, ProPEX Engineered Plastic (EP) Fittings have a more cost-effective and stable price than metal insert fittings
• ProPEX works well in cold weather, especially with the built-in auto rotation mechanism on the new Milwaukee® M12™ and M18™ ProPEX Expansion Tools
• The ProPEX fitting technology works with the properties of PEX-a tubing, compared to clamp, crimp or press fittings which, by nature, fight the tubing’s elastic memory
Engineered polymers
• Higher temperatures and pressure ratings
• Higher resistance to chlorine and freezing
• Strong, but light in weight
• Competitively priced• Not available in sweat or
threaded
