Product Description
Milwaukee 1 in. ProPEX Expansion Head for M18 Expansion Tool
Model Number: 49-16-2608
The Milwaukee 49-16-2608 is a 1 in. ProPEX Expansion Head for the Milwaukee M18 ProPEX Expansion Tool — the interchangeable expansion head for expanding PEX-A tubing at the 1 in. diameter for ProPEX fitting connections in commercial and residential plumbing main line applications, large radiant heating manifold supply headers, and the mechanical systems where 1 in. PEX-A tubing is specified for the higher flow rates and lower pressure drop that larger-diameter distribution tubing provides. The 1 in. ProPEX connection is the largest standard residential expansion head size — used for main trunk lines, large heating zone headers, boiler supply connections, and commercial distribution applications where the flow capacity of 3/4 in. and smaller PEX is insufficient for the system's design requirements. The Milwaukee M18 expansion tool's battery-powered motor performs the 1 in. expansion cycle with consistent controlled force for the reliable thermal memory contraction that creates watertight, code-compliant connections at the larger diameter.
The 1 in. expansion head is interchangeable with other M18 ProPEX expansion head sizes — tool-free head changes allow the same M18 expansion tool to service all ProPEX connection sizes from 3/8 in. through 1 in. without requiring separate tools for each size. Milwaukee manufactures the 1 in. expansion head to the ProPEX system's dimensional requirements for the correct expansion diameter and depth that produces reliable connections at the 1 in. specification. At the 1 in. size, the expansion head must work harder than at smaller diameters — the M18 platform's motor output is calibrated for complete, uniform expansion at this large size for consistent, installation-quality connections throughout the work session.
