Using The QickClamp Go Gauge
Check a completed connection with the appropriate section of the
QickClamp Go Gauge. Slide the appropriate slot of the gauge onto the
crimped pinch ear. If the QickClamp pinch ear does not fit in the Go
Gauge slot, the fitting should be cut out, the tool adjusted, and the
fitting replaced.
Adjusting The Small
QickClamp Tool
1) Close the jaws about half way
with 3 or 4 squeezes of the
handles.
2) Holding the tool with the jaws
pointed toward you and the
moving handle on top, find the
Adjusting Screw on the ratchet
arm. It is the lower screw that is
visible through a small hole.
3) Use the Allen wrench supplied with the tool to raise or lower
the screw.
4) Raising the screw by turning
counter clockwise will cause the
jaw gap to increase at the point
the LED light comes on. It will be
rare that this adjustment will be
required.
5) Lowering the screw by turning
clockwise will cause the jaw gap
to decrease at the point
the LED light comes on. Do not
turn the screw more than 1/4
turn at a time before making a
test crimp and checking with
the QickClamp Go Gauge. Do
not adjust more than required to
give finished clamps that gauge
properly.
Cutting Zurn PEX Tubing
1) Using a blade type cutter, cut tubing to desired length.
Install QickClamp
2) Push tubing into the QickClamp until the tubing stops and
is visible in the sight hole.
Be sure that the tab inside the
QickClamp stays on the outside of the tubing.
Install Fitting
3) Push fitting into the tubing
until the fitting shoulder
touches the QickClamp.
Crimp QickClamp
4) Open the QCRTQCRM tool
by turning the Release Knob
counterclockwise (Figure 1).
Place the jaws completely
over the QickClamp pinch ear.
With the tool at a 90° angle to
the tube (Figure 2), close the
tool by squeezing the handles
together repeatedly until the
LED light comes on. This may
take 6-8 squeezes (Figure 3).
Important! Be sure the tool
jaws cover the entire ear
of the QickClamp before
crimping. Failure to do so
will result in an improper
crimp and may avoid the
warranty.

5. It is very important to com plete the crimping process before
releasing the tool. Open the QCRTQCRM tool by turning the Release
Knob counterclockwise. Visually verify that a secure connec tion has
been made. If the entire ear did not crimp,
DO NOT recrimp. The QickClamp must be cut out and replaced.

Making the Connection with the Small QickClamp Crimp Tool
The Zurn Small QickClamp crimp tool is factory set to provide proper crimps. This should be checked before use by making a
test crimp
connection and checking it with the QickClamp Go Gauge. As long as the finished crimp connection gauges properly, there is no need to adjust
the tool.
We recommend checking finished crimp connections frequently with the Zurn QickClamp Go Gauge.
