Cold-weather Use
Colder weather (<40°F/4°C) requires a longer contrac-
tion time and fewer expansions. Do not make ProPEX
connections in temperatures under 5°F (-15°C).
Troubleshooting ProPEX
If fittings will not seal, check for the following:
• Is the expander head screwed on tightly? Tighten
the head securely.
• Are the expander head segments bent or mis-
aligned? Replace expander head.
• Are the expander head segments failing to contract
between expansions? Clean and relubricate.
• Is the expander cone over or under lubricated?
Clean and relubricate.
• Is the fitting damaged? Replace fitting.
• Is the expander cone bent or damaged? Return to
a MILWAUKEE service facility for repair.
• Was the expander head held in the expanded posi-
tion before tubing was removed? Cut 2" off tubing
and restart process.
• Was the tubing rotated slightly after each expansion
when using an Uponor Stanard expansion head?
Cut 2" off tubing and restart process.
• Are the tubing and ProPEX
Wipe dry.
• Is grease getting into the tubing from the expander
head? Wipe grease from tubing. Clean and relubri-
cate expander head.
If ProPEX
Ring slides during expansion:
®
• Are the tubing and ProPEX
Wipe clean.
• Are your hands clean and dry? Wipe dry — oils from
your hands can lubricate the tubing and ProPEX
Ring.
• Are you holding the ring in place? Place your thumb
against the ring and hold in place during first couple
of expansions.
