instructions for installing
ProPress fittings. Failure to
follow all instructions may result in

imperffections.

(using displacement type cutter or
fine-toothed steel saw).

sealing elements.

fitting onto tubing to the fitting stop.
End of tubing must contact stop.
5. Mark insertion depth.
6. Insert the appropriate jaw into the
pressing tool and push in holding pin
until it locks into place.
7. Open the jaw and place at right
angles on the fitting. Visually check
insertion depth using mark on tubing.
8. Start pressing process and hold the
trigger until the jaw has engaged
the fitting.
9. After pressing, the jaw can be
opened again.
10. For applications requiring ProPress
with FKM sealing elements, remove
the factory installed EPDM sealing
element and replace with FKM
sealing element.
