Sharkbite/cash Acme 24611 Pex Clamp Cinch Tool

Product Description

The SHARKBITE/CASH ACME 24611 is a PEX clamp cinch tool designed for installing stainless steel C-clamp rings on PEX tubing in residential and light commercial water distribution systems. It handles clamp ring sizes from 3/8 inch through 1 inch, making it a versatile single-tool solution for the most common PEX tubing diameters used in plumbing rough-in work. The tool is built to work with the SharkBite barb connection system, which uses lower-cost fittings relative to press or expansion methods. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary users of this tool on new construction and remodel projects.

The 24611 cinch tool is suited for water distribution piping in both residential and light commercial applications where PEX tubing is run to fixtures, manifolds, or branch lines. It is compatible with the SharkBite barb fitting and C-clamp ring system, which positions the stainless steel clamp ring over the PEX-to-barb connection and cinches it tight with a single squeeze of the tool jaws. Installations typically follow IPC and local plumbing code requirements for PEX water distribution systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines for PEX water distribution systems. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before making or modifying any PEX connections. Position the C-clamp ring over the PEX tubing and barb fitting before using the cinch tool to compress the ring — ensure the ring is seated at the correct distance from the end of the tubing per the fitting manufacturer's guidance. Inspect each completed clamp connection visually before restoring system pressure.
