When we were doing our ProPex/Soiux Chief pex tubing, we used those 3/4" pex-a sleeves. The ones with the stop on the end of them. (You can only put the tubing in on one side, and then it stops at the other end). The Milwaukee expansion tool directions say "If you do NOT have a stop at the end of the sleeve, pull it out no more than 1/16th of an inch". Well, directions were misread, and we installed those pex sleeves WITH the stop, WITH an extra 1/16th pulled out. In other words, we pulled out an extra 1/16th of an inch before the stop, when expanding the sleeves for connections.

Is this a (big) problem?

Also, it recommended something like 11 expansions and we only did 8. (When you put the tool in and it rotates, etc)

Thank you
