The DEWALT 20V MAX* 1″ PEX Expander (DCE400) can expand 3/8” to 1” PEX-A Tubing. A popular alternative to copper pipe, PEX-A (Polyethylene Cross Fiber Pipe) is commonly used in commercial and residential installation of pipework for potable drinking water, radiant heating, and residential fire sprinklers. Five interchangeable PEX expander heads in 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8” 3/4”, and 1” are available. The tool rotates each of these heads evenly to ensure consistent expansion around the diameter of the pipe. The 20V MAX* 1” PEX Expander features a dual-sided, heavy-duty hang hook and belt hook that can be mounted on either side of the tool. A bright LED light helps to illuminate the work area. In addition, the long trigger can be actuated at any point, making it easy to use in a variety of orientations between joists or under sinks.

Milwaukee’s new charger plugs into 12V DC outlets and accepts all M18 & M12 battery packs, charging them sequentially.
Availability: Mid-May 2017
MSRP: $99.00
With Milwaukee REDLINK Intelligence, this charger communicates directly with M18 and M12 battery packs to monitor cell voltage, temperature, and charge status to optimize the performance and overall life of the packs. As an added level of communication, the charger has protective electronics that monitor the voltage of the user’s car battery. The charger will automatically shut down to prevent excessive discharge if the vehicle battery voltage dips too low.

From the AHR show floor:
This is the new REHAU EVERLOC+ fitting system and tool. The PEX-a is expanded only two times, a patented PEX-a sleeve is then pulled/pushed over the joint after inserting the fitting into the end of the pex. It’s all done with one tool and is not sensitive to weather conditions like traditional PEX expansion joints. Only visual inspection is needed for confirmation of proper fitting completion.
EVERLOC+compression-sleeve fitting system launched at AHR Expo 2017. Designed for use with RAUPEX® UV shield PEXa pipe in potable water applications, EVERLOC+ features both polymer and lead-free brass fittings in diameters up to 2 in. as well as the EVERLOC+ power tool, powered by the DEWALT® 12V MAX* battery platform.
“REHAU has been intensely devoted to the design and development of EVERLOC+, and we are excited to offer a system that sets a new precedent for plumbing installations,” said Mike Dietrich, vice president of the building solutions division at REHAU. “EVERLOC+ is a polymer and lead-free brass fitting solution, based on our proven and highly secure compression-sleeve technology, that is also faster, more convenient and cost-effective when compared to other PEX-based plumbing systems,” he said.
EVERLOC+ connections are made using a two-step expansion and compression process, both performed by the EVERLOC+ power tool, which is specifically designed for assembling EVERLOC+ fittings. First, the pipe is expanded, then the sleeve is actively compressed over the pipe and fitting for a secure connection that is immediately ready for pressure testing.

Elyria, Ohio — RIDGID® is changing the way contractors install PEX with the new PEX-One™ 12V Battery PEX Tool. The PEX-One is the first in the industry designed for one-handed use, for easy and accurate press connections anywhere on the job.
At five pounds, the PEX-One allows contractors to easily get rid of their manual press tools and is thirty percent lighter than other battery-powered tools that can make press connections on PEX. The pressing tool is purpose-built to press three sizes and features a compact design that frees up space in the tool belt and tool box.
Ideal for overhead connections and accessing tight spaces, the PEX-One provides full power through 150+ presses per charge with a 5-second crimp cycle. The tool can press multiple size fittings up to one inch, and has interchangeable dies with a quick change system. It is compatible with ASTM F1807 copper crimp ring fittings and in the near future Viega PureFlow® fittings.
“We developed the new RIDGID PEX-One with the contractor in mind. Based on our conversations with contractors and our deep understanding of their challenges through ongoing research and time spent on jobsites, we confirmed that using a manual tool is inefficient, as well as, is tough on the body,” said Marcus Borman, RIDGID Global Marketing Manager. “The PEX-One’s innovative one-handed, lightweight design maximizes efficiency on the job site and reduces contractor fatigue.”
PEX-One is the latest product in the RIDGID line of pressing tools, joining the RP 200-B, RP 210-B and RP 340 press tools. Introduced in 1999, RIDGID pressing tools are unsurpassed in making quick and reliable connections on copper, stainless steel, carbon steel, PEX and multi-layer tubing. The RIDGID ProPress® is the original pipe joining system in North America and just one of the innovations that helps RIDGID lead the pressing tool industry.
