Cold-weather Use
Colder weather (<4°C/40°F) requires a longer
contraction time and fewer expansions. Do not
make PEX connections in temperatures under
-15°C (5°F).
Troubleshooting PEX Connections
If fittings will not seal, check for the following:
• Is the expander head screwed on tightly? Tighten
the head securely.
• Are the expander head segments bent or mis-
aligned? Replace expander head.
• Are the expander head segments failing to contract
between expansions? Clean and relubricate.
• Is the expander cone over or under lubricated?
Clean and relubricate.
•
Is the fitting damaged? Replace fitting.
•
Is the expander cone bent or damaged? Return to
a MILWAUKEE
service facility for repair.

•
Was the expander head held in the expanded
position before tubing was removed? Cut 2" off
tubing and restart process.
Was the tubing rotated slightly after each
•
expansion when using an Uponor Stanard
expansion head? Cut 2" off tubing and restart
process.
Are the tubing and Ring clean and dry? Wipe dry.
•
• Is grease getting into the tubing from the expander
head? Wipe grease from tubing. Clean and relubri-
cate expander head.
If ring slides during expansion:

Are your hands clean and dry? Wipe dry — oils
from your hands can lubricate the tubing and ring.
Are you holding the ring in place? Place your
•
thumb against the ring and hold in place during first
couple of expansions.
