Step 4.
For manual tool use,
regularly check with the
gauge supplied by sliding
the opening of the gauge
over the compressed ring. If
the gauge passes over all
parts of the ring without
interference, then the
joint has been crimped
satisfactorily.
Correctly serviced battery
tool do not require a gauge
check if the joint has
been completed as per
instructions.
If the gauge experiences
any interference, the
joint is under crimped.
The tool should then
be adjusted. (See
adjustment instructions
in this manual).
Do not double crimp.
Step 3.
Make sure the tool jaws are
centralised over the crimp
ring at 90° to the joint.
When using the manual tool,
close the tool completely to
compress the crimp ring.
The tool will click at final
compression.
When using a battery tool, ensure the tool has fully closed
and released indicating a completed joint.
32mm Joints
When crimping Auspex
32mm, use the battery
tool with a 32mm DuoPEX
Jaw. Place the fitting inside
the jaws so that the raised
section of the plastic sight
ring fits into the slot in the
jaws. Release the jaws so
they fit snugly over the
fitting, ensuring that the
raised section of the plastic
sight ring is still located in
the slots in the jaw.
Press the switch mechanism until the joint is completed.
Press the back end of the jaws and remove the
completed joint.
