Systems
The new iCrimp tool was designed to press crimp 1/2 and 3/4 copper and also 1/2 and 3/4 pex fittings in seconds. With 5 tons of manual crimping force in your hands you can be assured on every crimp every time. The icrimp tool weighs only 6lb and is capable of flame free connections to copper and pex press systems in under 5 seconds. Pressing copper eliminates the time consuming process of soldering and brazing. The icrimp press tool has constant axial pressing force, ensuring you consistent flame free connections all day long!

Copper
Press-connect joining of copper and copper alloy tube is fast, economical, and, most importantly, it requires no heat or open flame unlike soldering or brazing. The press-connect joining method (sometimes called press-fit) was patented in Europe in the late 1950s and continues to be used successfully there. The method and associated fittings and tools were introduced in the United States in the late 1990s. Press-connect joining takes advantage of copper's excellent malleability and its proven increased strength when cold worked. The joints rely on the sealing capability of a special fitting that contains an elastomeric gasket or o-ring seal and the proper use of pressing tools and jaws. Several manufacturers offer full product lines of press-connect fittings, valves and specialty items.
Pex
PEX (or crosslinked polyethylene) is part of a water supply piping system that has several advantages over metal pipe (copper, iron, lead) or rigid plastic pipe (PVC, CPVC, ABS) systems. It is flexible, resistant to scale and chlorine, doesn't corrode or develop pinholes, is faster to install than metal or rigid plastic, and has fewer connections and fittings.
PEX tubing is made from crosslinked HDPE (high density polyethylene) polymer. The HDPE is melted and continuously extruded into tube. The crosslinking of the HDPE is accomplished in one of three different methods.
PEX plumbing has been in use in Europe since about 1970, and was introduced in the U.S. around 1980. The use of PEX has been increasing ever since, replacing copper pipe in many applications, especially radiant heating systems installed in the slab under floors or walkways. Interest in PEX for hot and cold water plumbing has increased recently in the United States.
