You are damaging the fitting and risking a leak by using a knife to remove the PEX after you removed the crimp ring. Instead -- after removing the crimp ring -- I suggest you use the ring removal tool to crease the PEX in 3 or 4 places which will expand the circumference of the PEX enough to slide it right off.
Wishing I read your comment a couple of months ago. I used a knife, very carefully. Everything left exposed for 10 days, no leaks so I think I was careful enough. If there is a next time I'll do it your way. Jim Y

I took it to the next extreme today. I had a metal cutoff wheel in my grinder. I made sure the launch area was clear, and i wore a face shield. Grabbed my fitting with channel locks and cut on both sides.
Actually, you have to be very careful to not leave any scratches or indents over the ridges of the Pex fitting otherwise you run the risk of leaks. With all due respect to the presenter if you look at any manufacturer recommendations they will state this clearly as problematic. When first practicing, I tested out the scratch surface and it was a gamble which fitting leaked and which one did not. Still a good presentation
Thanks for watching. This scratch was very minuscule and does not leak to this day. Thanks for commenting, I greatly appreciate it. Please like, share, and subscribe.
Razor knife risks scoring the fitting ridges. Cordless grinder with cutting wheel is a part of a plumbers tool set (usually), so cutting ring is quick and easy. Torch the fitting and plastic a bit and pull off.
If it works, why not. If it gets the job done safely and efficiently then it’s not the wrong way. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe.
Thanks for explaining how that tool is used. I just got into PEX and picked up this tool with no instructions. It's a cutter, for cryin' out loud -- how hard could it be to figure out? But was stumped on how to use it. Now that I see your video, I'm like, DOH!, of course. Thanks again.
Don't buy a Dewalt DCF682N1 gyroscopic screwdriver. I lost my man card when I had to read the instructions. I've played dumb and had over a hundred people try and figure out how to make it work. None have without a demonstration.
I agree cut ring with either the Pex tool or dremel. To prevent scoring the fitting (which may induce a leak), heat the Pex tubing with torch grasp with pliers and pull Pex from fitting.
I was looking for how to remove a crimp and tubing from a middle tee fitting that needs repair in a line, where I keep the exit tubings in place. I have good luck with just a mini hack saw for you're doing. But it is the devil getting old tubing off a fitting.
Do you really trust the fitting after this has been done. I've noticed that sometimes one of the barb bands gets nicked by the cutting tool. Usually this is on 3/4 fittings which are tougher to get through. I don't think it is worth the risk of having a leak to re-use the fitting.
People, if you cut into the plug fitting TOO deep with a knife IT WILL leak!!!! be very careful not to damage the fitting at all. I do not reuse fittings ever, i recycle them , its not worth chancing a leak in a customers house in a wall....... that fitting was 10 cents.
If that brass plug is 10 cents, please tell me where you shop !! Reusing pex fittings is unprofessional and risky. Water damage is costly. Why chance it.
ten cents! Where they heck are you finding these. They are about $2.50. And you DO NICK the fitting when you use this tool the undo them. I think that it basically goes like this. Stainless steel clamps if you want to undo it. If you use copper crips, which seems more secure, just do it right the first time and because I don't trust the fitting after it's been undone this way.
@@curioushooter I wanted to wait and comment on this just in case I was missing something, because I have done several with these since this video was made and I have not had one leak or any problems. This tool is very effective and I use it to this day.
how the f*ck did this comment get 26 likes? that fitting costs at least $2, maybe 1$ at the very least if you buy bulk from the manufacturer but f*Ck off with that 10cents bullsh*t, I do agree, though, I would still not re-use a fitting lol
That's great but how about without the fancy tools? And still connected to the lines. I'm not starting from scratch, I have to work on it on the line and try to save the pex.
Thanks man. I watched another video where a guy used a flame to heat and remove the tubing and I thought that was a bit over kill. Sure enough, your way with a knife is faster and simpler.
+Max1Chase1 thank you very much. I'm glad it helped and you found the video useful. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like, share, and subscribe.
The cutter you used to remove the ring can be used to remove the pex from the fitting. You just need to go in a circle and give the pex a little squeeze. Much less force than removing the ring.

Every time I watch these videos, I see guys working in small spaces like I am having to do now with sharp rocks under the plastic no one thought to remove. I would like to see local building codes for new construction to have a minimum of three feet from highest object (floor joist or pipes) to the ground & while there is still an open wall have a bobcat smooth the ground out, then a good plastic layer.
You can also just undo the clamp by folding over the retention tab and popping with a small flat head screwdriver. Then use a heat source of your choice to slightly heat up the PEX and the fitting pulls right out.
Yeah, I heat it with a lighter now and it comes off real easy. I haven't updated the video. But if no one has a lighter and a torch , at least they have an alternative way of doing it. Thank you.

Is it really that difficult to use a hack saw to cut those crimp bands? I've cut compression rings before without much difficulty. I only have a few to do and don't want to buy any more tools. The crimping tool is already $60.
Once you have ring off, rather than use knife to risk damage, just hit it with a butane torch or even a lighter might work to heat plastic. Once softened, pull off with needle nose. Or you could use a razor as you described.. thanks for the video.
You will 100 percent do damage by scoring the fitting. I'm watching this because I wanted to know how to remove it without doing that because mine is leaking now haha.

hey bud thanks for the video but a hack sae works just as good believe me ive had to cut many of them without a 100 doller cutting tool but thanks anyway.
The pinch rings are a lot harder. You have to bend the lock tab so it straightens out, then peel them off. The best tool I find to use for it are a good pair of side snips but it still takes a while to get them off.
good job, but scratch can cause problems , I think there are other ways to remove the ring on the tube . Thanks for sharing the video. I will use your metode.
I would never remove PEX from the fitting using a knife that scores the brass. Water leaks can often be damaging and very expensive, far more expensive than the price of a fitting.
Heating the pipe is much better to slip it off. Cutting the pipe off will leave a scoring mark and water will eventually find its way out. Any half ass plumber wouldn't ruin a fitting like that.
I'd refrain from scratching the brass fitting with a knife as it can leak. It might not every time and the minerals in the water will seal small leaks but why risk it by rushing? If you cut the tubing almost all the way through, you can remove the tubing without gouging the brass.
Not at all. It's still dry. I did it on my own house and it is perfectly fine. Also if your that concerned about it, just replace the fitting. Thanks for watching and commenting.
As I told other people that said the same thing as you. It does not leaks go over it with some emery cloth and smooth them out if your that concerned about it or just replace the fitting. Simple as that. But for this fitting, it's still being used and no leaks. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like, share, and subscribe.

You don't do it like that you got a lineman Cutters and attacked the crimp ring van itself you pop it then you can slide it down take the fitting out do what you need to do cut it off at the back of the fitting

No, I didn't like it, nor did I find it useful though I thank you for at least trying to help educate the world. We need more people like you. Also you can use the cut off wheel on a dremel or angle grinder to slice the ring if there is a piece crimped in the other end you don't want to harm. Had to do that twice today.

Good idea. Thanks for watching and commenting.
the cutoff wheel, a flat screw driver, and knife are what I use...all the time....every day.
I searched and tied many methods before i pulled out my dremel, Cut through in seconds, best way to remove pex crimp rings
And Dremel cutoff wheels make it easy for people who think they are plumbers to correct their mistakes.
Univac yea,it does

+Nivaldo Covolan great. I’m glad this video was useful. I wish you best of luck. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like share and subscribe
You can also just use the ring remover to cut a few lines into the pex and it'll loosen off. No need for the knife. Great video though👍
How the heck you get the crimp ring off without cutting the line. That's the issue I'm having. I don't have the extra pex to cut off
Cut off more, and use a union. After the line is crimped, it has to be cut off anyway, it's unusable to re-crimp it

Also you can use the cut off wheel on a dremel or angle grinder to slice the ring if there is a piece crimped in the other end you don't want to harm. Had to do that twice today.
Good job. Glad you liked it and found it useful. Thanks for watching.
You made that look easy lol sike
:) it's really not that hard. Practice on one or two before doing a fitting you plan on reusing. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please like, share, and subscribe.

That is cutting off the ring, not removing it
This comment is puzzling. If you are cutting off the ring then you are removing it, yes . If you are wondering if you can reuse the rings, the answer is no you can’t .
You are cutting off pex tube instead of just removing the ring.
