pex crimper

Hi, I need replace one of my hot water radiators. I have 1/2" pex running from my furnace to each radiator, whisch is then crimped on a copper fitting coming out of the radiator.

Has anyone used the much cheaper versions of the pex crimper that are engaged with vicegrips ($45 vs. $120) vs. one standalone tool?

Thanks

Is PEX up to Code?

It is for running hot water to your radiator

Pex is good for water only up to 180 degrees, so just make sure your furnace is heating below that.
