AIR SUPPLY SETUP
The tools is operated with a foot pedal assembly (P/N 104).
Use a 1/4" ID, 3/8" OD line capable of 70 to 125 PSI (1-2 CFM).
Crimp tool operating pressure is 620 to 861 kPa [90 to 125 PSI] (1-2 CFM). Nominal pressure is
80 PSI.
Use clean, dry air with a quality filter and regulator within 7.62 m [25 ft.] of the tool.
CAUTION
Do not use an oiler. Do not turn on the air pressure before calibrating the dies (see Section 2.5).
The air inlet port in front of the handle (Figure 2) is tapped to accommodate 6.35 mm [¼-in.] NPT fittings.
Direct pipe threaded fitting or quick disconnect can be used with non-setting pipe thread compound. When
installing connections, avoid leakage or damaged threads. Ensure that the connection is tight enough to
prevent leaks. Recommended air hose: 6.35 mm [¼-in.] inside diameter. The 6.35 mm [¼-in.] NPT
threaded hole in the rear of the handle must remain sealed with a single pipe plug.
