IFAN PEX Female Socket

What is PEX Female Socket?

A PEX female socket is a type of fitting used in plumbing systems that utilizes PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping. The female socket refers to the end of the fitting that has an opening designed to accept a PEX pipe. This type of fitting is typically used when connecting two or more sections of PEX pipe together. The female socket fitting is inserted over the end of a PEX pipe and secured using a crimp ring or clamp. It creates a watertight seal that prevents leaks and ensures proper flow of water or other fluids through the piping system.
