or other method being careful not to damage tting.
2. Insert the ring removal tool anvil into the end of the tting.
Center the cutting blade over the copper crimp ring.

6. If unable to remove tting from PEX tubing, insert the anvil
into the tting and score the tubing in six equal locations
along the outside of the PEX tubing. This will cause the
PEX tubing to expand and allow removal of the tting.
7. Inspect the tting for any marks on the barbs or
deformation of the inside diameter of the tting. If marks
or deformations are observed, discard the tting.
