Review on πŸ”’ Effortlessly Secure Your Pipes with Apollo PEX 69PTKG1096 Stainless Steel Pinch Clamp Tool by Richard Payne

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple and safe connections Pex

This tool is great! I recently finished my own basement, including my own electrics, HVAC, frames, etc. This was the plumbing job I was most afraid of doing myself. The rest of my house has Pex piping, so I knew this was the thing. I read and watched videos about installing Pex and decided to take a chance and give it a try. The plumbing turned out to be the CRAZY easiest part of completing the basement! I installed a bathroom and small kitchen and the installation was so easy! There are two types of PEX bindings. There are ferrules that this tool does not make. In addition, there are clamps that this tool uses. From what I've looked at and read, tulip terminals are just as good as ferrules, but they're a lot easier to install. The only important part is making sure you tighten them properly. The tool must be adjusted to clamp them properly! To. Comes with a setting gauge that tells you if it's too tight or too loose. Find a YouTube video on how to set it up! The tool doesn't come with enough instructions on how to set it up and mine had to be set up before I could use it! If I used it straight out of the box the clamps would be too loose and prone to leaks. You have to customize it! In total I made about 30 connections and there wasn't a single leak. Buy this product, it's great!
