Close Quarters PEX Crimp Tools feature handle openings much smaller than standard PEX tools. This smaller size allows the tools to be used in tight spaces, such as in making connections in potable-water and radiant-heating applications. Available in 0.5-in. and 0.75-in. sizes, the crimp tools are designed for use with ASTM F1807 copper crimp-ring PEX tubing connections.
