secure a proper fit.
nOTE: The PEX tubing should fit tightly against the fitting
shoulder. If there is more than a 1.6 mm gap between the PEX
tubing and the shoulder, cut 50 mm off the end of the PEX tubing
and restart procedure with a new PEX Ring.
Cold Weather Use
Use of your PEX expander in colder temperatures (4 °C) requires
a longer contraction time and less expansions. Attempting
to make PEX connections in extreme temperatures (-15 °C) is
not recommended.
Expansion Markings (Fig. G)

CAUTION: Incorrect expansion of the PEX tubing can
create deep grooves in the material which could result in
faulty connections and risk of property damage.
Examples of correct and incorrect markings on the inside of
the PEX tubing are shown in Fig. G. Incorrect markings could
indicate the head is not rotating properly, or the tubing is
rotating with the head.
