The CinchClampâ„¢ can fit into hard-to-reach places; with a unique "tab" design, there is no need to get a tool around the entire fitting, says the manufacturer. Press the tab closed with the new CinchTool and the connection is complete, states the company. The company says the fitting's tab design offers a positive mechanical connection, ensuring the WaterPEX is compressed against the fitting uniformly. The ratchet tool only releases when proper assembly is complete. One tool installs all sizes from 3/8 to 1 inch.
