Make the quality connection with our QUAL-PEX PLUS+ ‘EASY-CRIMP’ SYSTEM. The Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Crimp’ system is a new unique system designed specifically for the Irish market. Unlike other crimp systems the Qual- Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Crimp’ system is supplied in Irish sizes of ½”, ¾” & 1” for use with Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Lay’ pipe.
The Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Crimp’ system requires no expensive tooling, no reaming of the joint prior to fitting; no pipe inserts, and gives an incredibly secure joint. The system is designed for optimal installation speed, ease of use, joint security, and competitiveness. Because it is Irish sized the system is ideal for use in retrofit applications or other applications as it is fully compatible with existing Irish size pipe and fittings systems. For new builds this system is unbeatable for installation speed.
Our extensive range of quality ‘Easy-Crimp’ fittings have complete compatibility with our Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Lay’ pipe. The air force grade annealed aluminium protective metal sleeve is precisely attached to each fitting during production and is designed to provide a unique metal reinforced leak free joint. The polymer fittings are made from a high performance thermoplastic and can withstand high temperatures as well as being corrosion resistant.
The secure water tight seal is made when the Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Lay’ pipe is compressed onto the body of the Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Crimp’ fitting. The “air force grade” aluminium holds that seal permanently. This seal eliminates any contact between water and metal which has been the focus or major problems in the past. (brass bodied fittings degrading due to corrosive water) The Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Lay’ pipe and the Qual- Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Crimp’ fittings are completely corrosion resistant.
Pipelife’s guarantee on the Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Crimp’ System against manufacturing defects is a minimum of 50 years. The guarantee remains valid, provided that the pipe and fittings are installed as per the company’s recommended installation guidelines and that the products installed were not damaged before, during or after installation.
Our Qual-Pex Plus+ ‘Easy-Crimp’ fittings are the professional’s choice due to the right materials used for the job, the rings don’t fall off, no O-rings, pipe inserts or pipe deburring required, no slide, just crimp and move on. Once you push our pipe in you can rest for sure knowing it’s docked and locked – then crimp.
