Inspecting The Pressed
Connection
1. Inspect the pressed fitting for:
• Full insertion of tube into fitting.
• Excessive misalignment of the tubes.
A slight amount of misalignment at a
press connection is considered nor-
mal.
• Incorrect attachment alignment with the
fitting contour. Distorted or deformed fit-
ting.
• Any other issues per the fitting manu-
facturer. This could include the removal
of a control ring or decal (used to indi-
cate the connection has not yet been
pressed).
If any issues are found, remove fitting
and install a new press connection.
2. If inspecting ProPress fittings, check and
confirm the presence of the ProPress wit-
ness mark in one of the hex flats
(See
Figure 12)
. This unique mark confirms
that the proper RIDGID Jaw set, designed
specifically for the ProPress Fitting
System was used to make the pressed
connection. This witness mark is a trade-
mark of the Ridge Tool Company. Ab-
sence of the witness mark may invalidate
the system manufacturer’s warranty.
