PEX crimp tool set for ASTM F1807/2098

This Legend Valve 508-280 kit provides the tools needed to install copper crimp rings on PEX tubing. It includes a crimp tool, a go/no-go gauge for verifying connections, and a carrying case. The set suits plumbers and DIY installers working to ASTM F1807 and F2098 standards.

Manual operation with no external power

The crimp tool is hand-operated, so it produces no motor noise, draws no electricity, and generates no heat during normal use. The gauge is a passive metal component that also requires no power. Both pieces store in the supplied case when not in use.

Go/no-go gauge confirms crimp quality

The included gauge lets you check every connection against the ASTM F1807/2098 dimensional requirements. Installers who need a powered crimp tool or a different ring standard cannot use this set for those tasks.

Questions about this item

How do I install the crimp tool and which step is most often missed?

Place the copper crimp ring over the PEX tubing, insert the fitting, position the 508-280 tool jaws squarely on the ring, and squeeze fully; the step most often missed is verifying the crimp with the included go/no gauge before pressure testing.

What maintenance or replacement will the 508-280 set need over time?

The tool jaws and pivot should be kept clean and lightly lubricated; the go/no gauge must be checked periodically for wear, and the crimp rings themselves are single-use and replaced on every new connection.

What limit appears first during sustained crimping with the 508-280?

Operator fatigue from repeated high-force squeezes typically shows up before the tool itself reaches a mechanical limit, especially when making many ASTM F1807/2098 connections in succession.
