Lightweight (6.2 pounds) and cordless, the RP 200-B press tool has been added to the press tool lineup. The inline-designed tool, complemented with a 270-degree rotating barrel, offers contractors a fast and reliable way to join copper and stainless steel tubing and PEX tubing.
Uponor North America announced it will be expanding its headquarters facility in Apple Valley, Minn., to add 17,500 square feet of manufacturing space to help meet forecasted growth for crosslinked polyethylene (PEX) tubing for plumbing, fire sprinkler, and radiant heating and cooling systems.
For joining cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) tubing, a plastic PEX Press system that includes the company’s Smart Connect feature, is available. The Smart Connect feature enables installers to easily spot unpressed connections during pressure testing by allowing water to flow past the fitting on a missed connection.
