1. Square off tubing to proper length. Uneven,
jagged or irregular cuts will produce unsatisfactory
connections.
2. If using FostaPEX tubing, insert into prep tool, push
and turn until no resistance is felt. If using ViegaPEX
Barrier tubing, continue to step 3.
3. Insert PEX Press fitting with attached sleeve into
tubing and engage fully.
4. Ensure full tubing insertion at view holes in attached
press sleeve. Full insertion means tubing must be
completely visible in at least two view holes and
partially visible in the one.
5. Position press tool perpendicular over Press Sleeve
and close tool jaws to engage ratchet.
NOTE: It may be necessary to rotate the locator
ring to avoid interference between the ring and tool.
6. Close handles, using trigger to reduce grip span if
desired.
7. Extend handle and continue ratcheting until
automatic tool release occurs at proper
compression force.
8. Warning: The connection is not leakproof when the
tool has been opened by emergency release.
