Product Description
Milwaukee ProPEX Expander Cone Grease
Model Number: 49-08-2400
The Milwaukee 49-08-2400 is Milwaukee's ProPEX Expander Cone Grease — a premium lubricant specifically formulated for use with Milwaukee's M12 and M18 ProPEX Expansion Tools to maintain proper lubrication of the expansion cone and jaw assembly during PEX-A tubing expansion operations. The expansion head on a ProPEX tool undergoes significant mechanical contact stress during each expansion cycle — the cone is driven into the jaw assembly under substantial force to expand the jaw segments outward against the PEX-A tubing, and this metal-to-metal contact under load generates heat and surface friction that accelerates wear on both the cone and jaw contact surfaces when inadequate or incorrect lubrication is present. Milwaukee's ProPEX Expander Cone Grease uses a premium lubricant base with additive chemistry specifically matched to the contact pressures, motion characteristics, and material surfaces of the Milwaukee ProPEX expansion mechanism — providing the correct boundary lubrication film that separates the cone and jaw surfaces during expansion to minimize wear, reduce operating temperature, and maintain consistent expansion geometry throughout the tool's service life.
Regular lubrication of the ProPEX expansion cone and jaw assembly is a required maintenance procedure specified in Milwaukee's ProPEX tool service documentation — inadequate lubrication frequency or using incorrect lubricant accelerates wear of the expansion head components, degrades expansion consistency, and can lead to premature tool failure requiring costly expansion head replacement. Using the Milwaukee-specified ProPEX Expander Cone Grease ensures the correct lubricant chemistry for the ProPEX mechanism without compatibility concerns that could arise from substituting generic greases with different additive packages and base oil viscosity that may not provide adequate protection under ProPEX expansion tool operating conditions. The compact container format is sized for field carry and jobsite service kit storage, making it practical to keep the lubricant on hand at the work location for the regular application that maintains peak ProPEX tool performance.
Consult Milwaukee's ProPEX expansion tool operating documentation for the recommended lubrication interval and application procedure for your specific M12 or M18 ProPEX Expansion Tool model.
