Pre-Installation Pipe Preparation
Cut the PEX pipe square every time. A sharp tubing cutter gives the best result. You must deburr the pipe end thoroughly. This step ensures a smooth surface. A proper cut prevents seal failure.
Critical Depth Measurement
Mark the pipe with a depth gauge tool first. This shows the correct insertion point. You avoid under- or over-insertion this way. The mark provides a clear visual guide. This simple step guarantees a perfect fit.
Fitting Selection and Verification
Choose the correct fitting size and type. Inspect it for any damage before use. You must also check the PEX pipe condition. Ensure both components are clean and dry. Good preparation prevents future problems.
Tool Preparation and Safety
Charge the battery-powered press tool fully. Select the correct jaw size for your fitting. Wear safety glasses during the pressing operation. Keep your hands away from the jaw area. Safe practices prevent accidents.
The Pressing Action
Insert the pipe into the fitting until your mark. Hold the tool straight on the fitting ring. Squeeze the tool trigger until it releases. You will hear a distinct click sound. This confirms a complete press.
Verification of a Good Joint
A proper press creates a visible indentation. You should see a uniform bulge around the fitting. Check that the pipe cannot be pulled out. This visual inspection confirms joint integrity. Always verify your work.
System Pressure Testing
Pressurize the system after installation. You must check all connections for leaks. A successful test validates your workmanship. Fix any leaking joints immediately. Never skip this critical quality step.
Multiple Connection Strategy
Plan your pressing sequence carefully. You should start from the main line first. Then work your way toward the endpoints. This logical order prevents missed connections. It improves workflow efficiency.
Tool Maintenance and Care
Clean the press jaws after each use. Store the tool in its protective case. You must charge the battery between projects. Proper maintenance ensures tool longevity. It also guarantees consistent performance.
Final System Inspection
Walk the entire system after pressurization. Look for any signs of moisture or drips. Verify that all planned connections are complete. A final check ensures total customer satisfaction. It is your professional responsibility.
