Watts 650542 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need a special tool to install a Watts cinch clamp, or will crimp rings tools work?
Cinch clamps and crimp rings are two different systems. A cinch clamp has a raised ear that gets pinched closed with a cinch (ASTM F2098 style) tool; a copper crimp ring needs a full-circle crimp jaw. A crimp tool will not properly close this clamp, so order a cinch tool if your crew is set up for crimp rings.
2) Are Watts 0650542 clamps stainless steel, and can they be used in a slab or underground?
Body material is stainless steel, which is the reason these clamps are used in concealed and buried applications where a plated carbon steel ring would be a corrosion risk. It is the same stainless cinch ring style used on potable water PEX connections.
3) Can I use a 1/2 inch stainless cinch clamp on both PEX-A and PEX-B tubing?
Cinch clamps work over a barbed insert fitting, and the clamp itself only cares about the outside diameter of the tubing, so a 1/2 inch clamp suits 1/2 inch nominal PEX regardless of manufacturing method. Match the insert fitting to the tubing and the 1/2 inch clamp goes over it.
4) Is the Watts 0650542 sold as a single clamp or in bulk?
It is packaged bulk, which is how contractors buy these for repipes and multi-unit work rather than as a single piece. Model number is 650542, Watts WP9S series.
