Collars: What You Need to Know

Collars, also known as crimp rings, pinch clamps, or fastening clips, are essential components in PEX piping systems that secure connections between pipes and fittings. Available in diameters ranging from ½ inch to 1 inch, these products are used in both residential and commercial installations to create durable, leak free seals.

Type:

• Crimp Rings: Provide a permanent and uniform compression around the pipe and fitting using a crimping tool. Commonly used in standard PEX installations where long term hold is required.
• Pinch Clamps: Tighten securely around PEX connections using a specialized pinch tool. Often chosen for their clean, consistent seal and ease of installation.
• Disconnect Clips: Allow easy removal of push to connect fittings. Used when repairs or reconfigurations are needed without cutting the pipe.

Material:

• Copper: Corrosion resistant and malleable, copper rings provide strong holds and are ideal for traditional crimp systems. These are preferred for long term water line performance and reliability.
• Stainless Steel: Offers high tensile strength and rust resistance for tough environments. Ideal for outdoor, high pressure, or hot water systems where strength is a priority.
