F1960 PEX Fittings

1960 Coupling: Advanced “Ringless” Integrated Design

Design Features:
The 1960 coupling represents an upgraded technology, completely eliminating the external stainless steel retaining ring. Its pipe socket features a deeper profile and a more precise barb design. During installation, simply expand the pipe and fitting socket using the dedicated 1960 expansion tool. The powerful retraction force of PEX-A pipe then ensures tight engagement with the deep barbs, creating an exceptionally deep and uniform compression seal.

Key Advantages:
Faster Installation: Eliminates the manual pre-installation of rings, streamlining the process and significantly boosting efficiency.
Higher Flow Capacity: With no collars protruding into the flow path, the inner wall remains unobstructed, delivering superior water flow performance and reduced pressure drop.
Enhanced Compatibility: The all-plastic connection avoids potential stress issues that may arise from metal collars interacting with plastic under long-term thermal cycling, ensuring compatibility with all water qualities.
Cost-Effectiveness: While requiring specialized tools, it eliminates the cost of collars at each connection point.

Suitable Applications:
Large-scale new construction projects where accelerated installation yields significant time and cost savings.
Applications requiring maximum system flow and minimal pressure drop.
Users prioritizing long-term compatibility and seeking to avoid potential issues from metal-plastic contact.
