Sharkbite/cash Acme 23102CP100 Copper Crimp Ring 100pk

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 23102CP100 is a bulk pack of 100 copper crimp rings sized for 1/2 inch PEX pipe. These rings are used to secure barbed fittings inside PEX pipe runs, creating a reliable mechanical connection without the need for soldering or threading. The crimp ring slides over the PEX pipe, the barbed fitting is inserted into the pipe end, and a PEX crimp tool compresses the ring to lock everything in place. Each ring is made of copper for corrosion resistance and consistent deformation under a calibrated crimp. Plumbers and pipefitters use these on residential and light commercial potable water and hydronic systems.

These crimp rings are suited for new construction and retrofit plumbing applications where PEX pipe is being connected to barbed fittings. The 100-count bulk packaging makes them practical for production plumbing work, rough-in stages, or stocking a service van. They are appropriate for use in water supply lines, radiant heating loops, and other closed-loop hydronic systems where PEX is the pipe material of choice.

Key Features

• 100-count bulk pack reduces trip-to-supplier frequency on active job sites
• Sized for 1/2 inch PEX pipe, compatible with standard barbed fitting geometry
• Copper construction provides corrosion resistance and predictable crimp deformation
• Designed for use with a standard PEX crimp tool per ASTM F1807 installation method
• Secure mechanical connection without solder, open flame, or threading equipment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement crimp ring for 1/2 inch PEX pipe systems using barbed fittings installed via the copper crimp method.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before cutting into any existing line. A calibrated PEX crimp tool and go/no-go gauge should be used to verify proper ring compression after each crimp. Do not reuse a crimp ring that has already been compressed.
