Making PEX Tubing Connections
To ensure a proper connection:
• Remove the expander head and remove any dirt
and debris.
• Use a clean, lint-free cloth to apply a thin
coat of MILWAUKEE Expander Cone Grease
Cat.No. 49-08-2400 to the expander cone. Do not
over-lubricate.
Improper lubrication (too much or
WARNING
too little) may result in faulty con-
nections, which could result in property damage.
• Do not expand tubing beyond the tool's capacity (1").
• Pull trigger and verify that the expander head is
rotating after each cycle when using MILWAUKEE
M12 ProPEX expander heads.
