Business
Large-Diameter PEX Repipe Specialist
Offer fast, no-flame repipes of 1-1/2 in. main trunks in multifamily buildings, restaurants, and light commercial spaces using the DEWALT 20V MAX Compact Press Tool and this jaw. Market the time savings, reduced downtime, and ASTM F1807/F2159 compliance. Bundle smaller jaws for branches to provide a turnkey service.
Prefab Water Treatment Manifolds
Build and sell skid-mounted 1-1/2 in. PEX manifolds for well systems, softeners, iron filters, and whole-home filtration. Pre-press unions, isolation valves, and bypass loops so installers can drop in a complete, leak-tested assembly and cut labor time significantly.
Festival/Construction Water Distribution Rental
Rent modular potable-water mains made from 1-1/2 in. PEX with press-in valves, hose bibs, and meters for events and temporary job sites. Provide delivery, setup, and sanitization. The press system speeds deployment and keeps fittings standardized for maintenance.
Radiant Heat & Snow-Melt Contractor
Specialize in installing hydronic radiant floors and driveway snow-melt with 1-1/2 in. PEX trunks feeding zone manifolds. Sell design + install packages, highlight low-temp efficiency, and leverage press connections for clean mechanical rooms and rapid commissioning.
24/7 No-Flame Leak Response
Launch a mobile emergency repair service for large-diameter PEX mains in facilities where open flames are restricted (healthcare, schools, kitchens). Use press connections to perform wet repairs quickly, document with photo reports, and offer preventative replacement of suspect fittings.

Rainwater Harvesting Header
Build a 1-1/2 in. PEX main manifold that links multiple rain barrels or cisterns into a single balanced header feeding a pump, sediment filter, and hose bibs. Use the press jaw to make fast, leak-free connections on large-diameter fittings, add isolation valves/union fittings, and route branches (with smaller press jaws if needed) to garden zones. Use UV-protected PEX or shielding for any outdoor exposure.
Shop/Garage Radiant Slab Trunk
Create a 1-1/2 in. PEX supply/return trunk for a hydronic radiant floor in a garage or workshop. Press in tees to zone manifolds, mixing valve, and circulator pump unions. The big-bore trunk minimizes head loss and balances multiple loops; the jaw’s single-finger actuation helps in tight mechanical corners.
Greenhouse Hydroponic Feed Manifold
Assemble a central 1-1/2 in. PEX recirculation header for hydroponics/NFT systems, with press-in tees to individual channels, inline filters, and flow meters. The large trunk reduces flow restriction; quick press connections let you reconfigure zones as your grow expands.
Pond/Waterfall Filtration Loop
Build a serviceable 1-1/2 in. PEX loop between a pond skimmer, mechanical/biological filters, and a waterfall return. Use press fittings for pump unions, drain tees, and bypass valves so you can winterize or backflush easily. Insulate and shield PEX from UV where exposed.
Event Handwash/Mist Backbone
Construct a modular 1-1/2 in. PEX potable-water backbone for outdoor events, with press-on tees feeding handwash stations, bottle-fill taps, or mist lines. Quick setup/teardown with reusable press unions and color-coded caps keeps the system sanitary and scalable.
