Shortening the pipes
NOTICE!
Leaky press connections due to damaged material!
Press connections can become leaky due to damaged
pipes or sealing elements.
Observe the following instructions to avoid damage to pipes
and sealing elements:
– Do not use cutting discs (angle grinders) or flame cutters
when cutting to length.
– Do not use grease or oils (e. g. cutting oil).
For information about tools, also see
Cut the pipe properly using a pipe cutter or fine-toothed hacksaw.
Avoid grooves on the pipe surface.
3.4.2
Deburring the pipes
The pipe ends must be thoroughly deburred internally and externally
after shortening.
Deburring prevents the sealing element being damaged or the that the
press connector cants when mounted. Use of a deburrer (model
2292.4XL) is recommended.
NOTICE!
Damage due to the wrong tool!
Do not use sanding disks or similar tools when deburring.
The pipes could be damaged by these.
