WIRSBO Propex Clamps

I need help.
I have a wirsbo propex manifold and aquapex tubing. My question is can I use a standard half inch crimper and crimp rings for these crimps or do I need a different crimper. I don't see how I will get the crimp rings up over the expanded tubing.

Wirsbo pipe uses an expansion tool to connect their pipe, not crimp rings. I dont know if you can use crimp rings on it.

Re: WIRSBO Propex Clamps

You still need to expand the pipe to goet it over the fittings. So no... you cannot use something else

Correct, you can't use the crimp rings.
