PEX Press Hand Tool 1"
1. Open tool handles fully (thumb grip is available to
maintain open jaw).
2. Position press tool perpendicular over press sleeve
and close tool jaws to engage ratchet (ensure that
thumb grip is returned fully forward before closing
jaws).
3. Close tool handles, utilizing trigger to reduce grip
span if desired.
4. Extend handle one notch at a time and continue
ratcheting until automatic tool release occurs at
proper compression force.
5. Warning:
The connection is not leakproof when the
tool has been opened by emergency release.
Maintenance:
The press tool is largely maintenance free.
The moving parts should be cleaned and lightly oiled
periodically.
NOTE:
For security, the press tool incorporates a
ratcheting mechanism. Once a compression has been
started, it must be completed. This prevents incomplete
connections from being made, eliminating potential leaks.
To open the tool if the handles are closed unintentionally,
completely close the tool to release the ratchet - do not
force the handles apart by pulling.
