Vanguard CRIMPSERT Insert Fittings & Crimp Rings Vanguard CRIMPSERT metallic insert fittings and black, copper crimp rings are to be used as connections for Vanex PEX tubing in 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", and 1" sizes. The 3/4" and 1" fittings may also be used to connect Vanguard Proguard CTS-OD SDR9 polyethylene water service tubing. The connections are assembled with a full-circle crimp tool designed specifically for that purpose and are the same tools that were previously used to assemble insert and crimp ring fittings with polybutylene. A permanent, sealed connection is made when a copper crimp ring is compressed around the tubing, pressing the PEX into spaces between the ribs of the fitting insert. A wide range of fittings is available to make connections, reductions or transitions to PEX tubing, fixtures, or other piping material. The line also features a complete selection of ball and stop valves. CRIMPSERT metallic fittings are manufactured from lead-free* extruded or forged brass with some fittings supplied in copper. All CRIMPSERT fittings are precision made to tight tolerances for a consistent fit with Vanex PEX tubing. The black, copper crimp rings are manufactured from UNS C102200 copper alloy. Rings are annealed to 35-45 Rockwell 15T scale for ease of crimping. The black coating is not paint but a surface treatment that does not add to the dimensions of the ring. CRIMPSERT fittings and rings are manufactured and certified to the requirements of ASTM F1807 to insure compatibility with all SDR9 PEX tubing and fitting components from numerous manufacturers. CRIMPSERT metallic fittings are designed to be used with Vanguard Vanex PEX tubing for hot and cold water conveyance systems operating up to 100 psi @ 180°F and 160 psi @ 73°F. Applications include, but are not limited to potable water distribution and hydronic heating systems. CRIMPSERT fitting system components are interchangeable with components and tubing from other PEX suppliers providing they are manufactured to the same ASTM specifications and the manufacturer approves the mixing of components. Because Vanguard has no control over the quality of other manufacturers, we do not extend any warranty to those components that are not supplied by Vanguard. For information on other hot and cold applications not listed here, consult with your Vanguard representative. * Lead-free, as defined by the EPA as of the printing of this document, is material that contains less than 8% lead. Typically, brass CRIMPSERT fittings have a lead content of 3.5% or less and meet the requirements of ANSI/NSF 61 for lead extraction.
