    Pex crimping... and test gauge
    Testing some pex crimps before I do the actual water lines.

    What is the correct way to test with the gauge ?

    Should the gauge rotate around the crimp freely/evenly ?

    Some I've tried seem to fit but when rotated it wants to pull away or leave a small gap.

    Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks.

    My crimper did not come with a no-go gauge... just a go.
