Confined Space Press Tool Calibration
All HeatLink Press Tools are precalibrated by the manufacturer, and do not normally require
an initial calibration. However, all press tools wear with use, increasing the press diameter.
Use the Go Gauge (#11433.1) to determine if presses are within HeatLink specification. Press
tools must be recalibrated as necessary.
Maintenance
For easier, better presses and longer tool life, keep tool clean and rust-free inside and out.
Lubricate all moving parts frequently. HeatLink provides a silicone lubricant safe for use with
potable water systems.
1. Remove the e-clip (for example, pop it
off with a screwdriver).
2. Slide the back pin head out about 1⁄2".

Pop off E-clip
3. Rotate the back pin until the line on the hex head points to the next highest number on
the tool body.
4. Push the pin back in.
5. Refit the e-clip. HeatLink recommends
using a new e-clip, HL Part#: 11438.
If the tool has already reached the maximum adjustment, or cannot be calibrated, it must be replaced.

calibration demonstration video
is
available on the HeatLink website.
The Go Gauge should freely rotate
around the press sleeve at least 90°,
catching only on the high spot where
the jaws met during pressing.
Any presses that do not pass must
be removed and replaced, and may
indicate the tool needs to be calibrated
or replaced.
Worn tools can often be refurbished
with new pins and clips, HL Part#:
11439. A
