Choosing the Right PEX Pull On Tool

Confirm your fitting system first. This is the most critical step. All tools on this page are designed for the Elson BUSH PEX pull on compression sleeve system only. They are not compatible with Elson EPS PEX, Elson BUSH PEX crimp-on, or any other PEX system. If you are installing a different PEX system, you need different tooling. See our PEX pipe and fittings pull on parent page, or contact our team to confirm the correct tools for your system before ordering.

Manual kit vs individual components. If you're setting up for the Elson BUSH PEX pull on system for the first time, the manual tool kit (Code 1602879) is the most efficient starting point — it includes the expander tool, 16mm and 20mm heads, pipe cutter, and compression jaw in one purchase. If you already have some components, individual tools and heads are available to complete or extend your setup.

Manual vs battery-powered. The manual compression tool 22902 and expander are well suited to smaller projects or less frequent use. For plumbers installing BUSH PEX pull on fittings regularly across residential or commercial projects, the Novopress AAP102 battery kit provides significant speed and ergonomic advantages — it covers 16mm to 32mm with dual rotating heads and eliminates manual compression effort across hundreds of connections per day.

Size range needed. The manual kit and compression jaws 22904 cover 16mm and 20mm, which is sufficient for most residential hot and cold water reticulation. If your installation includes 25mm or 32mm pipe — common in commercial applications or larger residential systems — add the 25mm–32mm compression jaws (22906) or specify the Novopress AAP102 kit which covers all four sizes.

Pipe cutting. The ratchet PEX pipe cutting tool (Code 1612674) is included in the manual kit but is also available separately. A clean, square cut is essential for a correct pull on fitting installation — do not use a hacksaw or standard pipe cutter on PEX pull on pipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Elson BUSH PEX pull on system?

The Elson BUSH PEX pull on system is a PEX plumbing system that uses compression sleeve fittings. The fitting sleeve is expanded, the pipe inserted, and the sleeve compressed onto the pipe and fitting using a dedicated tool — creating a secure, watertight connection without crimping rings or press jaws. It is a separate system from Elson's EPS PEX crimp and BUSH PEX crimp-on ranges.

Are these tools compatible with other PEX systems?

No. All tools on this page are designed for the Elson BUSH PEX pull on compression sleeve fitting system only. They are not compatible with Elson EPS PEX, Elson BUSH PEX crimp-on, Couta, Rifeng, Ezipex, or any other PEX system. Using the wrong tool on a different system will not produce a compliant connection.

What's included in the manual tool kit?

The Elson BUSH PEX pull on manual tool kit (Code 1602879) includes an expander tool and 16mm/20mm expander heads, a ratchet PEX pipe cutter, and a compression pull on jaw for 16mm–20mm. It is the complete setup for starting BUSH PEX pull on installations at 16mm and 20mm.

Do I need separate jaws for 25mm and 32mm?

Yes. The manual compression tool 22902 and the manual kit cover 16mm and 20mm as standard. To install 25mm and 32mm pull on fittings with the manual tool, you need the 25mm–32mm compression jaws (22906, Code 1604024) in addition. The Novopress AAP102 battery kit covers 16mm to 32mm in a single kit.

Can the Novopress AAP102 be used for other PEX systems?

The Novopress AAP102 battery tool on this page is configured for the Elson BUSH PEX pull on expander system. Novopress tools are also used with other PEX systems (EPS crimp, copper press) but require different heads and jaws specific to each system. Do not use pull on expander heads on crimp or press fittings.

Do these tools require servicing?

Novopress tools require servicing every 24 months or at the programmed service interval, whichever occurs first. Regular servicing maintains tool performance and compliance. Elson Australasia is an authorised Novopress tool service and repair agent. Contact our team for servicing information.
