Functional Description

The tool includes the following components:

Symbology:

Assembly

Changing Expander Heads

Operation

Making PEX Tubing Connections

To ensure a proper connection:

Ring Size and Expansion Counts
Ring Size Number of Expansions with Ring*
3/8" PEX 6-10
1/2" PEX 5-8
5/8" PEX 6-10
3/4" PEX 7-12
1" PEX 12-18

*Fewer or more expansions may be necessary, as influenced by weather and technique.

3/8" ProPEX® Rings

The 3/8" ProPEX® Rings do not fit over 3/8" tubing without expanding the ring separately.

  1. Place the ProPEX® Ring on the expander head and pull the trigger to expand the ring once.
  2. Remove the ring.
  3. Flip the ring over.
  4. Place the ring on the expander head and pull the trigger to expand the ring once more.
  5. Immediately remove the ring and slide onto the tubing. NOTE: The 3/8" ProPEX® Rings shrink faster than other size rings.
  6. Continue with step 3 of "Making PEX Tubing Connections".

Cold-weather Use

Colder weather (<40°F/4°C) requires a longer contraction time and fewer expansions. Do not make ProPEX® connections in temperatures under 5°F (-15°C).

Troubleshooting ProPEX® Connections

If fittings will not seal, check for the following:

If ProPEX® Ring slides during expansion:

Maintenance

If the tool does not start or operate at full power with a fully charged battery pack, clean the contacts on the battery pack. If the tool still does not work properly, return the tool, charger and battery pack, to a MILWAUKEE service facility for repairs.

Cleaning

Clean dust and debris from vents. Keep handles clean, dry and free of oil or grease. Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean, since certain cleaning agents and solvents are harmful to plastics and other insulated parts. Some of these include gasoline, turpentine, lacquer thinner, paint thinner, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents containing ammonia. Never use flammable or combustible solvents around tools.

Repairs

For repairs, return the tool, battery pack and charger to the nearest authorized service center.

To remove an Expander Head, unscrew from tool in a counter-clockwise direction.

Be sure Expander Head is free of any dirt and debris.

Use a clean, lint-free cloth to apply a thin coat of Milwaukee Expander Cone Grease, No. 49-08-2400 to the cone of the Spindle (37). Do not over-lubricate.

See page 3 for additional lubrication notes.

Reinstall Expander Head onto tool in a clockwise direction. Hand tighten securely. Do not over tighten. The Expander Head must fit snuggly against the shoulder of tool.

Lubrication Notes

Apply a greater amount of grease to all internal and external gear teeth.

Type 'L' Grease, No. 49-08-4175 (1 lb. can): When servicing, remove 90-95% of the existing grease prior to installing Type 'L'. Original grease may be similar in color but not compatible with 'L'.
