PEX-A Pipe Tube Expander Tool Kit — 16/20/25/32 mm Heads (ASTM F1960-Style) with Carry Case
Achieve leak-tight, full-bore connections on PEX-A cold expansion systems with this lightweight aluminum-alloy PEX pipe expander kit. Engineered around the F1960-style expansion method, the tool delivers smooth, concentric expansions in 16, 20, 25, and 32 mm sizes for water supply and radiator/heating circuits. The cone-profile expansion heads minimize scoring and ovality, helping fittings seat correctly and recover uniformly for maximum pull-out strength.
Key Features & Benefits
- Precision Cone Expansion Heads (16/20/25/32 mm): Produce uniform, round expansions that promote optimal elastic recovery of PEX-A tube for secure F1960-style joints.
- Lightweight Aluminum-Alloy Body: Durable yet easy to handle overhead or in tight runs, reducing installer fatigue on large jobs.
- Clean, Smooth Expansion: Head geometry and polished cones help avoid micro-tears and mitigate stress risers at the tube I.D.
- Commercial-Grade Performance: Built for Commercial Manufacture / pro job-site duty with consistent results across domestic water and hydronic radiator loops.
- Multi-Head Kit: Quickly swap between 16, 20, 25, and 32 mm to cover common European metric sizes without separate tools.
- Organized Carry Case: Molded case keeps the expander and heads protected, sorted, and ready to deploy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) Which PEX types does this expander support?
This tool is designed for PEX-A cold expansion (F1960-style) tubing and fittings. It is not intended for PEX-B crimp/clamp or PEX-C press systems.
2) What sizes are included in the kit?
Four cone heads cover 16, 20, 25, and 32 mm PEX-A tubing.
3) Is it compatible with Uponor/ProPEX fittings?
It follows the F1960-style expansion method commonly used with Uponor-style systems. Always confirm manufacturer approvals and head interface before mixing brands.
4) Can I use Milwaukee expansion heads with this tool?
Many installers report cross-compatibility in F1960 workflows, but thread pitch, shank, and interface can vary. Verify fitment before job use.
5) Does the cone head damage the pipe?
No. The polished cone geometry promotes smooth, concentric expansion to reduce scoring and help the tube recover uniformly over the fitting barb.
6) Is this suitable for potable water?
Yes—when used with PEX-A tubing and F1960-approved potable fittings that carry the appropriate certifications in your jurisdiction.
7) Can I expand in cold weather?
PEX-A is more rigid in cold conditions. Condition the tubing (warm it) when possible and perform multiple short expansions for best results.
8) How many expansions should I perform per joint?
Follow the tube/fitting manufacturer’s chart. Typically, multiple incremental expansions are recommended until the fitting seats fully.
9) Does the kit include a cutter?
The core kit includes the expander, four heads, and a case. Use a PEX-rated tubing cutter (not included unless specified) to ensure square, burr-free ends.
10) What maintenance is required?
Keep heads clean and lightly lubricated per manufacturer guidance, inspect cones for wear, and store in the included case to prevent damage.
