Hi:
I'm reading the instructions for expanding the pex tubing to fit on the proPex fitting.
It says to slide the ring no more than 1/16 of an inch onto the end of the tubing- then to insert the expander tool. The unexpanded ring and tubing will not initially go into the tools expander completely. This is normal. But then you re expand and the ring and tubing will then completely go to the shoulder of the tool. After re expanding a few times you can place on the fitting.
My question is after expanding does the ring slide back onto the tubing so that more than 1/16 of an inch of ring covers the tubing??? This is not clear to me and I need to know the proper method before I screw up!
thanks
Don
