Product Information

Ease of use: The tool should be comfortable and easy to use. Look for features like ergonomic handles, ratchet mechanisms, and a design that makes it easy to crimp in tight spaces.

By applying even pressure around a crimp ring, the tool forms a tight seal between the pipe and fitting, creating a reliable and lasting connection.Inspect the crimp: A properly crimped fitting will connect seamlessly to the pipe with no visible gaps. Some crimping tools have an indicator that shows whether a crimp is complete or not.

Squeeze the tool's handles tightly to compress the crimp ring and firmly secure the pipe to the fitting. Manual: Handheld tools require physical force to crimp the fittings onto the pipe. They are portable, affordable, and ideal for small-scale projects or tight spaces. Hydraulic: Hydraulic tools are powerful, efficient, and ideal for professional use. However, they are heavier and more expensive.Yes, copper press fittings are reliable. They provide a secure, leak-free connection for copper pipes when installed correctly. Is a copper press fitting tool the same as a copper pipe crimping tool? At BES, we like to say not only that We’ve Got It, as in we’ve got every fitting or part you need, but we like to make sure that you will not find a better selection of press-fit fittings or pipe tools at a better price anywhere else too.

The handles of a crimping tool are the long, usually rubber-coated parts that you grip while using the tool. Battery-powered: These tools are battery-operated to provide the crimping force. They are ideal for larger projects as they can reduce fatigue and increase productivity with automatic operation. The jaw is the part of the crimping tool that does the actual work of crimping down onto your pipes or connections. It has a specific shape and size designed to accommodate a certain type of pipe or connection.First of all, consider the type of pipe you'll be working with. Most crimp tools are designed explicitly for either PEX or copper pipes.

Some crimp tools offer interchangeable jaws, allowing you to work with multiple pipe sizes using a single tool. This option might be convenient if you anticipate working with various pipe sizes in the future. Carefully observe the connection for any signs of water leakage. If you see water escaping from the crimp, this means that the connection might be weak or incorrectly applied. A press fitting joins pipes together. They have a built-in sealing element, typically an o-ring, that ensures a watertight seal when the fitting is properly crimped onto the pipe using a crimping tool. These tools often have interchangeable dies to accommodate different sizes of pipes and fittings. How to use a crimping tool Materials needed Crimping tools have basic components that set them apart from other types of cutters. If you're out looking for a plumbing crimping tool, here are some of the components to look at:Use a rotary tool with a cutting wheel to carefully cut a slit along the length of the fitting. Be careful not to cut into the pipe itself. Hydraulic: These tools use hydraulic force to crimp the fittings onto the pipe. They are designed for heavy-duty tasks. Using these crimping tools makes it easier to create airtight and watertight connections in your plumbing projects. When working with your crimping tool, always make sure to wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection, to ensure your well-being.
