Sharkbite/cash Acme 23081 Pex Cinch Clamp Tool

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 23081 is a multi-size PEX cinch clamp tool designed for making secure, pressure-tested PEX cinch clamp connections in plumbing installations. A single tool handles four pipe sizes: 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch. The tool design eliminates the calibration issues associated with older jaw-style clamp tools, allowing consistent first-time connections. Immediate pressure testing to well over 100 psi is possible after each connection. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters use this tool for residential and light commercial PEX piping work where speed and reliability are critical.

This tool is suited for new construction and retrofit plumbing projects that use PEX cinch clamp fittings. It covers the full range of common residential supply line sizes in one unit, reducing the need to carry and maintain multiple individual clamp tools on the job. It is appropriate for potable water supply, hydronic heating, and similar PEX piping applications where cinch-style stainless steel clamps are specified.
