Plumbing Installation Guide
5) With the tool at a 90º angle to the tube, close the middle handle
until it contacts the bottom handle. The ratchet will lock the
handles in place. Complete the crimp by removing your thumb
from the middle and squeezing the upper and lower handles
together. The ratchet will allow the handle to open once the
crimp is completed.
6) Open the QickClamp Medium Crimp Tool and remove it from
the QickClamp. If the entire ear didn’t crimp,
do not recrimp
.
The crimp ring must be cut out and replaced.
7) Check a completed connection with the appropriate sized section
of the QickClamp Go gauge. Using the appropriate slot on the
gauge for the fitting size, slide the gauge onto the crimped
pinch ear. If the QickClamp pinch ear does not go into the Go
gauge, the fitting should be cut out, the tool adjusted, and the
fitting replaced.
1) With the tool in the open position, remove the E-clip using a
screwdriver.
Adjusting The Medium QickClamp Crimp Tool
The Zurn Medium QickClamp Crimp Tool is factory set to provide
proper crimps. This should be checked before use by making a test
crimp connection and checking it with the QickClamp Go Gauge.
As long as the finished crimp connection gauges properly, there is
no need to adjust the tool.
We recommend checking finished crimp
connections frequently with the Zurn QickClamp Go Gauge.
As more crimp connec tions are made, the QickClamp Tool will
require adjustment. This can be detected by the crimp diameter
increasing and the completed crimp does not gauge properly.
4) Apply light oil to the tool pivot points each time the tool is
adjusted. Failure to lubricate the tool will shorten the tool’s life.
3) Push Adjustment Pin back in and reinstall the E-clip.
2) Slide the Adjustment Pin back about 1/4".
Warning: The Adjust-
ment Pin must not be pulled or pushed completely out.
Rotate
the Adjustment Pin until the line on the the tool head points to the
next higher number on the pin. For example, to tighten the crimp
when tool is set to zero (0), adjust the pin to the one (1) position.
There are five total adjustments.
