GAGING PROCEDURE
Cut the tube so that a clean, straight end is provided. Slide the crimp
ring over the tube end. Insert the fitting into the tubing until the
shoulder of the fitting contacts the tubing end. Position the crimp ring
1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 to 6.4 mm) from the cut end of the tubing.
Place the opened jaws of the PEX Crimp Tool around the crimp
ring. Check to be sure that the crimp ring is still properly positioned.
Compress the tool handles to complete the assembly.
1.
Check tool calibration daily. It
is recommended that at least
the first and last crimps of the
day are tested.
2. Never exceed the specified
handle distance when
adjusting your crimp tool.
Premature wear will result.
3. Lubricate linkages on a regular
basis to maximize tool life.
When properly maintained and used
as intended, the PEX Crimp Ring Tool
is warranted against materials and
manufacturing defects for a period
of 1 year from date of purchase.
This Warranty does not cover defects
or damage arising from improper
installation, lack of or improper
maintenance, improper storage or
handling, ordinary wear and tear,
misuse, abuse or accident,
or use with unauthorized tool or
parts. Liability is limited to repair or
replacement of tool or component
parts which are determined defective
as covered by this Warranty.

1.
Determine proper size of tubing: 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" or 1"
2. If GO cavity fits over crimped ring and NO-GO does not, tool is
crimping properly.
3. If GO cavity does not fit then handle distance must be increased.
4.
If GO fits—check NO-GO. If NO-GO fits over crimped ring,
the ring is over-crimped, decrease handle distance. Recheck.
NOTE: Over-crimped and under-crimped rings must be removed from
tubing. Crimp with a new copper ring.
1.
Close tool handles until pre-load is reached (this is the point at
which jaws touch). Tool should not be completely closed.
2. Measure the distance between dots on the handle ends as shown.
8"– 8 3/4" is the correct distance. If the distance is not 8" – 8 3/4"
the tool must be adjusted.
3. To change the handle ends distance, remove the #6-32 eccentric
lock screw with an Allen wrench and push up eccentric from
back. Rotate eccentric counter-clockwise to increase the handle
distance and clockwise to decrease handle distance. Move
eccentric until hand distance is between 8" – 8 3/4". Push down
eccentric and re-install the #6-32 lock screw in the appropriate
hole which most closely yields the desired handle distance.
4.
Recheck the set distance after making three crimps. The distance
should be 8
"
– 8 3/4" between the “dots” on the handles.
5. Check the crimps with the go/no-go gauge provided. If satisfactory
crimps do not result, the tool is likely worn and should be replaced.
