Adjusting the Medium Crimp Tool
Note:
Zurn Crimp Tools are factory set to provide proper crimps.
This should be checked before use by making a test crimp
connection and checking it with the crimp gauge. As long as
the finished crimp connection gauges properly, there is no need
to adjust the tool.
All crimp tools wear, which increases the crimp diameter after
many crimps. When the crimps start to approach the maximum
ring diameter, adjust the back pin. To adjust for a tighter crimp,
remove the E-clip (for example, pop it off with a screw driver)
and slide the back pin head out about 1/4 inch.
Warning: The
Adjustment Pin must not be pulled or pushed completely out.
Rotate the back pin until the line on the hex head points to the
next highest number on the tool body, push the pin back in, and
refit the E-clip. Five adjustments are available.
For a tighter crimp, turn mark on pin to the next number:
0
1
2
3
4
5
Maintenance
For easier, better crimps and longer tool life, keep tool clean and
rust-free inside and out. Lubricate all moving parts frequently with
light oil.
