Sioux Chief 649X3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will Sioux Chief 649X crimp rings work on my PEX tubing, or do I need a specific type of PEX?
The 649X Series copper crimp rings are made for PEX SDR9 tube only. SDR9 is the standard dimension ratio used by ASTM F876 PEX, so if your tube is standard 3/4 inch or 1 inch PEX for potable water or hydronics, these rings match it. They are not intended for PB (polybutylene) tubing and should not be substituted onto a PB system.
2) Do copper crimp rings need a special tool, or will my PEX clamp tool work?
These are copper crimp rings, and they require a PEX crimp tool sized for the ring, not a cinch/clamp tool. Cinch tools are made for stainless steel ear clamps and will not compress a copper ring correctly. Use a properly calibrated crimp tool and check the joint with a go/no-go gauge, which is how you get repeatable results across a run.
3) What sizes do the Sioux Chief 649X crimp rings come in?
Two sizes: 3/4 inch (model 649X3) and 1 inch (model 649X4). Ring size has to match the nominal tube size exactly, and each ring is ink printed with its size so an installer can confirm it on the wall before crimping instead of eyeballing a mixed bucket.
4) Do these rings work with any brand of PEX crimp fitting?
The 649X rings are made to join PEX SDR9 tube to PEX crimp fittings, which is the standard barbed insert fitting profile in brass or poly. The ring and the tube size have to match; the fitting brand is a separate consideration, so pair the ring with fittings rated for SDR9 crimp tube.
5) Why annealed copper instead of a plain copper ring?
Annealing softens the copper so the ring deforms evenly under the jaws and holds its grip on the tube and fitting barb. That is what gives consistent crimps ring after ring on a long run. The 649X rings are pure annealed copper throughout.
6) Can I use these rings for radiant heat and hydronic loops, or only potable water?
Both. The 649X rings are used on PEX-to-fitting crimp joints in new construction potable water distribution, renovation and repipe work, and radiant heating and hydronic PEX runs. The requirement is the same across all of it: SDR9 PEX tube and a matching ring size.
