How do you cut the copper bands on pex piping so you can repair something?
I have the pex crimping tool to replace the copper bands. the only way I know how to remove the old bands is to cut them off with a hacksaw or grinder. is there any other solution
Since youve got the crimping tool.. and I assume the bands... you'll find it faster to just cut the joint out, and replace it.
You're most likely working in close quarters, so I would not advise using a grinder...if you send a spark or hot chip into the wrong place, you could be calling the fire department. That leaves you with a hacksaw...
If I were doing the repair, I would simply cut the joint out, and replace it... my time is worth more than the fitting. Once I got it out from under the home... then I could clamp it in a vise, and cut it with a hack saw, or reciprocating saw, easily, and save the part for future use.
Tip - remember to do the hardest to reach crimp first, heheh.
Have Fun
