Make fast, leak-tight PEX-A cold-expansion (F1960-style) connections for water and radiator circuits. The AZIYUHEA expander uses precision, wire-cut cone-type heads to form smooth, concentric expansions that let PEX-A recover uniformly over the fitting barb for high pull-out strength. A lightweight aluminum-alloy body minimizes fatigue, and the kit covers the core metric sizes: 16, 20, 25, and 32 mm.
Key Features & Benefits
- Cone Expansion Heads (16/20/25/32 mm): Polished geometry promotes even expansion and helps prevent micro-tears.
- PEX-A Cold Expansion Workflow: Compatible with F1960-style fittings for potable water and hydronic/radiator loops.
- Lightweight Alloy Tool: Aluminum-alloy construction is durable yet easy to handle overhead or in tight spaces.
- Smooth, Repeatable Results: Low-friction head finish supports consistent seat-up and full-bore flow.
- Compatibility Note: Suits many Uponor-style and Milwaukee-style workflows; verify head interface/thread form before mixing brands.
- Job-Ready Case: Molded carry case stores tool and heads for quick deployment and protection.

- Mechanical rooms, risers, branch circuits
Installation Tips
- Use PEX-A only: Not for PEX-B crimp/clamp, PEX-C press, or PEX-AL-PEX.
- Square cuts: Use a PEX-rated cutter; deburr OD/ID if required by the fitting manufacturer.
- Expansion count: Follow the tube/fitting maker’s chart for number of expansions and dwell time.
- Cold weather: Warm the tubing and perform multiple short expansions for best recovery.
- Mixing systems: Always confirm head interface, thread pitch, and drive fit if interchanging brands.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) Which PEX types are supported?
Designed for PEX-A with F1960-style cold expansion fittings. Not for PEX-B/C crimp/press systems.
2) Are the heads compatible with Uponor/Milwaukee?
Many workflows align, but confirm head interface and threads before mixing brands to ensure safe fitment.
3) What sizes are included?
Four metric heads: 16/20/25/32 mm (common EU sizes for potable and hydronic work).
4) Does the kit include a tubing cutter?
The standard kit includes the tool, heads, and case. A PEX-rated cutter may be purchased separately unless specified.
5) Can I use it for potable water?
Yes—when combined with certified PEX-A tube and approved F1960 fittings for potable use in your jurisdiction.
6) How many expansions per joint?
Follow the manufacturer’s chart (tube OD, ambient temp, and tool affect counts). Seat the fitting fully before recovery.
7) Will cone heads damage tubing?
Properly polished cones create smooth, even expansions that minimize scoring; keep heads clean and free of grit.
8) What maintenance is required?
Wipe heads clean, lightly lube if recommended by the maker, and store in the case. Inspect cones for wear.
9) Is it CE certified?
Yes, the kit is CE-certified. Warranty terms vary by seller.
10) Are inch sizes supported?
This kit covers metric sizes. Inch-series heads/tools are separate; do not assume cross-equivalence—verify before use.
