Product Description
Milwaukee PEX Expander Cone Grease
Model Number: 49-08-2402
The Milwaukee 49-08-2402 is PEX Expander Cone Grease — a premium lubricant specifically formulated for the expansion cones of Milwaukee M12 and M18 ProPEX Expansion Tools for maintaining smooth, consistent expansion cycles throughout production PEX-A tubing installation work. The expansion cone on the ProPEX tool rotates and pushes into the PEX-A tubing end to expand it for ProPEX fitting installation — the cone's surface contacts the tubing's interior during every expansion cycle, and without proper lubrication, friction between the cone and the PEX-A tubing material increases the resistance of each expansion cycle, accelerates cone wear, and can cause the cone to drag and stick rather than rotating smoothly through the expansion motion. Regular application of the correct cone grease maintains the smooth rotation and consistent expansion force that ProPEX connection quality requires.
Milwaukee formulates the PEX expander cone grease for compatibility with PEX-A tubing material — using incorrect lubricants can degrade the PEX tubing or compromise the cone's surface coating. Apply a light coat of grease to the expansion cone at regular intervals throughout production ProPEX expansion work per Milwaukee's recommended service schedule to maintain optimal expansion tool performance. The cone grease is a low-cost maintenance item that protects the more expensive ProPEX expansion cone and extends tool service life between cone replacements.
