FOR DIAMETERS AT ≤ 75 – PRESS FITTINGS

Lubricate the kernel of the fitting with an appropriate lubricator, inserting the pipe in the fitting until the top (plastic catch). The correct insertion should be visually verified through the orifice of the fitting.

Open the jaw head and adjust to the compression ring until reaching the fitting’s catch. Close the jaw head and compress with the machine until hearing the audible alert of the retreat of the piston.

Very important note: To guarantee that all crimping has been correctly done, it is mandatory that the compression process be completed. This means that when starting the process, the cycle should be completed, without any interruption until the audible alarm indicates that the piston has been released.

FOR DIAMETERS AT ≥ 75 – MECHANICAL CLAMPING FITTINGS

Check all the elements which make up the fittings. Place the brass flange, then the brass nickel ring, the catch and the ‘O’ ring on the end of the exterior of the pipe. Insert the aluminium core inside the pipe. Join the brass flanges and tighten the respective metal screws.
