Product Information

So on another note, we're now ondemand hot water which we installed during the pipe rerouting and replacement in the basement. There was an old gravity based hot water recirc with a half inch branch off the top of each hot manifold returning to the cold water feed to the water heater. It was only marginally effective anyway and a source, in my mind, of festering who knows what being stored with all the crap coming in from the city. In hindsight, whole house filtration would have been appropriate here but I'm only discovering all these issues 45 years down the line from this major replumb - and I must say that the folks who did it wouldn't have known that this house was a particular vector for every bit of crap in the system for some reason. Here's another crimping tool compatible with copper pipes; it works with 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch copper rings in PEX pipe connections, is made with durable steel, is lightweight, has an easy-to-grip handle, and features a new ergonomic design. Anyway, would a recirc pump generated enough flow on the closed system to trigger the hot water heater and any clever occupancy sensors (I'm even thinking a pushbutton to use a couple minutes before you want hot water). service with 2, 1 and 1/2 and 1 and 1/4 copper piping that had , on the hot side, started to develop pin hole leaks in the hot side basement transits before the risers. See attached picture. Of course Luigi Galvani has to be involved. The city water pipes up this way are a mishmash of old oak mains and cast iron growing god knows what inside. Moreso than any other buildings on this same water system, I have notice that this building manifests clogged aerators like going out of style with no question iron oxide amongst the constituents of the clogs.

This crimping tool is made specifically for copper pipes, fits 1/2",3/4", and 1" piping, is made with aluminum alloy material, has a rotating head, and is compatible with Viega Copper, Pro-Press, Elkhart, Conex Pipe Fittings. I have to admit opportunity cost is adding up in its favor. I hope I'm not creating and more problems for later albeit my experience with this cooper pipe system makes me wonder if the pipe can't last as long as the joining system whether fretting about the joining is as worth it as I thought.

On top of that, many DIYers recommend applying pipe flux and heating the joint rather than using a crimping tool. That falls into the category of soldering your copper pipes, so there are various ways to do this. Lastly, you may want to crimp and then solder your pipes for a permanent seal or skip crimping and shift your intention to soldering. You want to make sure you use a crimping tool to connect your pipes, or you risk them bursting, leaking, etc. Plumbing can be incredibly tedious, so keep this in mind during your project. Whether you need to connect copper pipes in the bathroom, kitchen, or elsewhere, it's always good to know what tools you'll need. We found that there are endless choices for crimping your pipes, whether you buy an entire kit or a single crimper.

Unlike soldering, you don't need a torch or a deep pipe cleaning to crimp. With that said, you might prefer the promised permanent result from soldering. Another copper crimping tool we have issuitable for copper pipes, copper fittings & joints, and copper sleeves, is made with aluminum alloy, has a 360-degree rotating head, creates leak-free connections, works for 1/2, 3/4 and 1” pipes/fittings, and has an ergonomic handle. My guess with the pipes pictured is ferrous debris which has settled out in the horizontals. Given the right water chemistry they will form little cysts that will eat the pipe.
