Cold Weather Use; Maintenance - DeWalt DCE410 Instruction Manual

unable to slide the PEX tubing over the fitting, remove the
fitting from the PEX tubing and re-expand until you can
secure a proper fit.
nOTE: The PEX tubing should fit tightly against the fitting
shoulder. There should not be more than a 1/16" (1.6 mm) gap
between the PEX tubing and the shoulder. If there is a gap
larger than 1/16" (1.6 mm):
‑ For 1" (25 mm) and below tubing, cut 2" (50 mm) off
the end of the PEX tubing and restart the procedure
with a new PEX Ring.
‑ For 1" (25 mm) above, cut 2-3/5" (66 mm) off the end
of the PEX tubing and restart the procedure with a
new PEX Ring.
Making 3/8" PEX Tubing Connections
(Fig. A, H, I)
The thicker 3/8" PEX rings will not fit over 3/8" PEX tubing
without first expanding each end of the PEX ring.
1. Insert the expander head
shown in Fig. I.
2. Squeeze the trigger switch
head to exapand the PEX ring once as shown in Fig. I.
3. Remove the PEX ring and repeat steps one and two for
the other end of the PEX ring.
4. IMMEDIATELY slide the PEX ring onto the end of the PEX
tubing 12 leaving an over-hang of no more than 1/16"
(1.6 mm) as shown in Fig. J.
nOTE: 3/8" PEX rings will shrink faster than other size
PEX rings.
5. Continue with the steps outlined in Creating a PEX
Tubing Connection to complete your connection.

Cold weather use

Use of your PEX expander in colder temperatures
(<40 °F/4 °C) requires a longer contraction time and less
expansions. Attempting to make PEX connections in extreme
temperatures (<5 °F/-15 °C) is not recommended.
Expansion Markings (Fig. K)

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. K. Incorrect markings could
indicate the head is not rotating properly, or the tubing is
rotating with the head.
