UNIFORM ANNEALING PROCESS
BBS black copper rings undergo a specialized annealing process to ensure consistent hardness. This allows the ring to compress uniformly without cracking, ensuring a fail-safe mechanical joint. -
■
CORROSION RESISTANCE
The black-oxide finish provides an extra layer of protection against harsh plumbing environments, preventing the surface oxidation typically seen in standard copper components.
Professional Application Guide
Potable Water Systems
Ensures lead-free, secure connections for hot and cold residential water distribution lines.
Radiant Heating
Reliable under extreme temperature cycles, maintaining joint integrity in under-floor heating manifolds.
PEX-B Manifolds
Optimized for use with BBS Manifold series, providing a standardized connection across the entire rough-in infrastructure.
Installation Engineering Checklist:
- ■ Crimp Placement: Position the ring 1/8" to 1/4" from the end of the PEX tube. Ensure the tube is cut square before insertion.
- ■ Gauge Verification: Every crimp must be verified using a Go/No-Go gauge. If the "Go" slot does not fit or the "No-Go" slot fits, the connection must be replaced.
- ■ Tool Compatibility: Use only calibrated ASTM F1807 crimp tools. Do not use cinch (clamp) tools with these copper rings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose Black Copper over standard copper?
Black annealed copper provides superior ductility and a black-oxide protective layer, which reduces surface oxidation and ensures a more uniform crimp without stress fractures.
Is this compatible with PEX-A pipe?
While technically possible with crimp-style fittings, these rings are primarily engineered for PEX-B systems using ASTM F1807 brass or poly fittings.
Are these rings lead-free?
Yes. These rings are made from high-purity copper and are 100% lead-free, compliant with NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water systems.
