1⁄2" & 3⁄4" Confined Space Press Tool Instructions
Single Stage Press; 11433 & 11434.
{
{
Regularly check tool jaws and sleeve
for any abnormalities that could be an
indication of a damaged tool.
{
{
If the Stainless Steel Sleeve is damaged or
pressed incorrectly, both the fitting and the
sleeve must be replaced.
{
{
The stainless steel press sleeve must
be completely pressed only one time. If
pressed more than once it is necessary to
cut out the fitting, and replace with new
sleeves and fitting.
{
{
Never reuse stainless steel press sleeves.
1. Pull back on the moving
handle to open the jaws. Do
not force the handles apart - this can
damage the tool!
2. Position the jaws squarely around the sleeve,
then slightly close the handles to firmly grasp
the sleeve.
3. Squeeze the handles together to finalize the
connection with one press.
4. Pull Back on the moving handle
and remove the tool from the
sleeve.
5. A properly positioned tool results in an accurate press: inspect the connection to
ensure the tubing is still seated in the sleeve (only PEX is visible in the sight hole), and
that the press has been properly formed onto the sleeve. An improperly positioned
tool may result in a poor press and a damaged fitting.
