A:  I have installed hundreds of clamps and have removed dozens of clamps that have already been crimped. I have done these clamps in quite tight conditions as well. That said, I never saw anything that would cause it to break... However, if you go to the site you can find a warranty link and you can read all about it.

A:  As long as a pex line is suitable to connect to the boiler, this style of clamp works fine. This kind of clamp is stainless steel, more durable than pex alone, pretty easy to get into a tight area, easy to remove if needed. I have a propane fired boiler for in floor heating and we have almost exclusively pex and have extensively used this type of fitting, including when doing a retrofit of adding valves to isolate parts of the system.

A:  I would not recommend it due to pipe boiler clamps have specifications which don't match with Shark pex.

A:  This style of crimper doesn’t use dies. It is for square crimp rings. The jaws open up and are placed on the square protruded part of the ring then squeezed. Much more convenient, this is a great tool, all of the guys always want to use it. I’m a licensed plumber

A:  this does not use dies, it crimps a special band clamp using the jaws in the face of the clamp tool

A:  This is a clamp tool to be used with our stainless steel clamps. It does not require different dies for each diameter size. If you have further questions, please contact Customer Service M-F, 8am-5pm at (877) 700-4242.

A:  There are no dies required. This tool uses the end to crimp the band. Watch the first video, the second half of the video shows how this tool works.

A:  This tool is used for "CLAMP" fittings which uses the same tool for all 4 sizes. "CRIMP" fittings use different fasteners and require a separate die for each size.

A:  No, this listing does not include dies.

A:  No dies, but accommodates all 3 sizes.

A:  No dies, but it does accommodate all three sizes.

A:  Squeeze tighter. It takes a lot of effort. I put cheater bars on mine.

A:  If you go to the product site, you will find a link for Instructions / Assembly which shows you how to test the gap and also adjust the gap, including a section called CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
