Product Description
Milwaukee 2 in. ProPEX Expansion Head
Model Number: 49-16-2614
The Milwaukee 49-16-2614 is a 2 in. ProPEX Expansion Head for use with Milwaukee's M18 ProPEX Expansion Tools — a precision-machined expansion head attachment that performs the PEX-A tubing expansion operations required by the ProPEX (expansion) method of PEX tubing connection in plumbing and radiant heating systems. The ProPEX expansion method uses a specialized expansion tool to stretch and flare the end of PEX-A tubing along with a ProPEX expansion ring over a fitting body — as the expanded tubing and ring contract back to their original diameter over the fitting, they create a compression grip connection that is exceptionally strong, leak-resistant, and durable for the operating pressures and temperatures of residential and commercial plumbing and hydronic heating systems. Milwaukee's 2 in. ProPEX Expansion Head is precision-engineered for accurate, consistent 2 in. expansion geometry on every cycle, ensuring that the tubing and ring expand to the correct diameter for proper fitting engagement regardless of operator technique variation.
The expansion head attaches to Milwaukee's ProPEX Expansion Tool using the tool's standard head interface, allowing plumbers and heating contractors to use a single expansion tool across multiple tubing sizes by changing heads for each size — a significant equipment cost efficiency compared to owning separate expansion tools for each pipe size. The 2 in. size is used in larger-diameter plumbing main line, hydronic heating main loop, and commercial plumbing applications where 2 in. PEX-A tubing is specified for its flow capacity and pressure rating requirements. Milwaukee's ProPEX expansion heads are available in sizes from 1/2 in. through 3 in. to cover the complete range of PEX-A tubing sizes used in residential and commercial plumbing and heating applications.
ProPEX expansion connections require both the correct expansion head size matching the tubing and fitting size, and the correct ProPEX expansion rings — always verify that expansion rings, tubing, and fittings are all specified for the same nominal pipe size before making connections.
