Watts Radiant introduces NEW Crimp Fittings and power tools for 1-1/2” PEX

Watts Radiant is pleased to introduce CrimpRings and connections for 1 ½” RadiantPEX tubing. Now fast and easy crimp connections are possible with larger diameter 1 ½” RadiantPEX applications.


Available in:
1-½” x 1-½” crimp coupling
1-½” crimp x 1-½” MPT
1-½” crimp x 1-½”male sweat adapter
1-½” crimp x 1-½” female sweat adapter

Our fittings are designed to be used with ASTM F876 (SDR-9) rated RadiantPEX tubing.

Temperature and pressure ratings:
Max. Operating Temperature 180°F.
Max. Operating Pressure 100 psi.

We have also expanded our crimp jaws for our corded and cordless power tools to include the 1-½”size. For those who currently use the RIGID® Model 320-E Cordless Press Tool®, our 1-½” crimp jaws are fully compatible.

With material costs and labor a fraction of copper pipe, RadiantPEX using our new crimp fittings is the perfect choice for distribution lines to commercial or large residential radiant zones, snowmelt zones, or other hydronic applications.
