JAW COMPATIBILITY
Approval is granted based on laboratory testing performed by Elkhart Products Corporation (EPC) utilizing performance requirements in IAPMO PS117,
proprietary standards developed by EPC, and by following the jaw, actuator, and pressing tool operating instructions. The following best practices apply as a
requirement of all approvals.
• Jaws require cleaning to remove copper buildup or chips. Typically, cleaning is performed dry with an abrasive pad; however, specic jaw cleaning
instructions are included in the jaw manufacturers operating instructions. Jaw cleaning intervals will vary by size, material, and engineering design.
• Jaws may require periodic inspections and or re-calibration; check the jaw manufacturers operating instructions for details.
• Pressing tools (sometimes called press tools or guns) require periodic inspection and re-calibration. Specic recommendations vary by manufacturer and
model number; consult the operating instructions provided with the pressing tool.
• Jaw cleanliness, jaw inspection/re-calibration (if required), and periodic pressing tool re-calibration/inspection are the responsibility of the installer. Failure
to maintain the pressing tool, jaw, or actuator may void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Note - Jaw approval testing is performed using jaws and pressing tools submitted by each jaw and pressing tool manufacturer listed below. EPC or Apollo do not
conduct testing of jaw and pressing tool interchangeability.
