I am about to use a Milwaukee ProPex expansion tool on some 1/2" # 3/4" Pex-A.
For the 1/2", Wirsbo says to click the gun 3 times, until it is bottomed out on the tool. A Plumber I know told me 6 - 8 clicks is what he does, although Wirsbo says more than 3 clicks could stretch the pipe and it might not shrink back far enough - which could cause leaks.
I don't seem to be "fast enough" to put the tool down, pick up the T or L, and get them shoved in before the pex starts to shrink. With 6-8 clicks I have a second more to play with, but I don't want leaks if 6-8 is too many clicks.
What's your experience?
Thanks for the help!
