Description
Milwaukee 3 in. ProPEX Expansion Head for M18 Expansion Tool
Model Number: 49-16-2618
The Milwaukee 49-16-2618 is a 3 in. ProPEX Expansion Head for the Milwaukee M18 ProPEX Expansion Tool — the interchangeable expansion head for expanding PEX-A tubing at the 3 in. diameter for ProPEX fitting connections in commercial and industrial water distribution, large radiant heating manifold supplies, and the large-flow plumbing applications where 3 in. PEX-A tubing is specified for the volume and pressure drop characteristics the system requires. The 3 in. ProPEX connection is the largest expansion head in the Milwaukee M18 ProPEX system — used for commercial main supply lines, large radiant heating distribution headers, and the mechanical plumbing applications where maximum PEX flow capacity is the design requirement. Note: this head is compatible with the M18 expansion tool platform — verify the specific M18 ProPEX Expansion Tool model accepts the 3 in. head before ordering, as the 2 in., 2-1/2 in., and 3 in. heads are designed for the heavier-duty M18 platform rather than the M12 tool used for smaller residential sizes.
The 3 in. expansion head is interchangeable with other M18 ProPEX expansion head sizes for tool-free head changes — allowing the same M18 expansion tool to handle the full range of large PEX-A connection sizes encountered on commercial projects. Milwaukee manufactures the head to the ProPEX system’s dimensional requirements for the correct expansion diameter and depth at the 3 in. specification for reliable, code-compliant connections. The M18 platform’s motor output is specifically designed to deliver complete, uniform expansion at the demanding 3 in. bore where the expansion force required is the highest in the ProPEX system.
See Milwaukee’s complete M18 ProPEX Expansion Head lineup for all available sizes for commercial and industrial PEX-A plumbing applications.
