INSTRUCTION GUIDE
CONNECTION ASSEMBLY
Cut the tube so that a clean, straight end is provided.
Slide the clamp over the tube end. Insert the fitting into
the tubing until the shoulder of the fitting contacts the
tubing end. Position the clamp 1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 to 6.4 mm) from the cut end of the tubing.
Place the opened jaws of the PEX Clamp Tool over the raised ear of the clamp. Check to be sure that the
clamp is still properly positioned. Compress the tool handles until the first “click” is felt. The clamp is now
locked to the tubing. Compress the tool handles to complete the assembly. Note: The PEX Clamp Tool will
not release until the assembly is completed.
