Applications
Ideal for HVAC contractors installing in-floor radiant heating systems, plumbing professionals working with hydronic heating, residential and commercial radiant floor installations, and any application requiring secure attachment of PEX tubing to wire mesh grids. Perfect for concrete slab installations, under-floor heating systems, and radiant heat retrofit projects where PEX tubing must be secured to reinforcing wire before concrete is poured.
How It Works
The PT1 tool uses proprietary Malco PC1 clips (12-gauge/2.5mm wire) to secure PEX tubing to wire grid substrate. The tool's 25-clip magazine feeds clips smoothly through the stapling mechanism, and a single one-handed pump of the ergonomic handles installs each clip securely. The clips are designed to hold PEX tubing firmly while allowing necessary movement to prevent abrasion, ensuring long-term system integrity.
