disconnecting a propex Brass Fitting
ProPeX brass fittings are manufactured connections and can be concealed
in walls, ceilings and floors. however, when necessary, ProPeX brass
Fittings can be disconnected.
note:
eP fittings cannot be reclaimed or reused.
to disconnect a brass fitting:
1. make sure the system is not pressurized.
2. use a heat gun to heat one side of the ProPeX ring. When the ring is
clear, use a utility knife to carefully cut through the ring. use extra care
to cut only the ring and not the tubing. this will protect the fitting from
being gouged by the knife. remove the ProPeX ring from the tubing
with pliers or another tool to avoid touching the hot ring.
note:
do not gouge the fitting when cutting the ProPeX ring. nicks and
gouges in the fitting may result in leaks. if nicked, discard the fitting.
3. When you remove the ProPeX ring, apply heat directly around the
fitting and tubing connection. gently work the tubing back and forth
while pulling slightly away from the fitting until the tubing separates
from the fitting.
4. When the tubing is removed from the fitting, square cut the tubing
2" (minimum) from the end of the tubing.
5. use a new ProPeX ring and follow the steps to make a new
ProPeX connection. allow the fitting to cool before attempting to
make another connection.
