The SharkBite UC961 PEX Clamp Tool is a professional-grade crimping tool designed to compress stainless steel clamp rings onto PEX or PE-RT tubing, creating secure connections to brass or poly crimp fittings. This tool simplifies one of the most critical steps in PEX plumbing installations, whether you’re roughing in a new home, renovating a bathroom, or performing routine maintenance.
Ideal for both licensed plumbers and serious DIY enthusiasts, the UC961 makes PEX work faster and more reliable. Its universal design works with all clamp sizes in the 3/8-inch to 1-inch range, eliminating the need to switch tools or check fittings against a go/no-go gauge when properly calibrated.
Features and Benefits
- Universal Clamp Compatibility: One tool handles all clamp sizes from 3/8 in. to 1 in., reducing the number of tools you need to carry and store.
- Three-Handle Design: The unique grip allows one-handed operation, freeing your other hand to hold a flashlight, support the pipe, or stabilize a ladder on difficult-to-reach installations.
- Eliminates Gauging: When properly calibrated, the tool removes the need to verify each crimp with a separate go/no-go gauge, streamlining your workflow.
- Stainless Steel Clamp Rings: Works with stainless steel clamp rings for securing tubing to brass or poly crimp fittings.
