Step 1
Cut the pipes using suitable tools that will avoid the risk of buckling.
For example, the machine oxygen cutting and the use of a disc grinding wheel are not recommended. |
 |
Step 2
Carefully deburr the pipe, both internally and externally, as a possible residual burr could damage the O-ring and compromise the connection tightness. |
 |
Step 3
Check the correct position of the O-ring inside the toroidal chamber and lubricate it with water or soap.
Do not use oil or grease at all. |
 |
Step 4
Put the pipe into the fitting and push it through a slight rotation until it's complete stop. |
 |
Step 5
Fix the correct position between them using a marking pen in order to see possible movements before pressing. |
 |
Step 6
Provide the pressing tool with the suitable jaw corresponding the diameter of the fitting to be pressed. For more details, please refer to the specific manual of the pressing tool. |
 |
Step 7
Set the pressing tool in a correct way so that the toroidal chamber is inside the proper housing of the jaw. |
 |
Step 8
Carry out the pressing process until the jaw-halves come in contact. |
 |
Once pressed, the fitting guarantees both the stiffness of the whole system and the perfect tightness of the O-ring.
Connections are now no longer divisible and resist against high stress. |
