Read, understand and follow all
instructions for installing
ProPress XL-C fittings. Failure
to follow all instructions may result in
extensive property damage, serious
injury, or death.
Note: Tubing shall be free of surface
imperfections.
1. Cut copper tubing at right angles
using displacement type cutter or
fine-toothed steel saw.
2. Keep end of tubing a minimum of 4"
away from the contact area of the
vise to prevent possible damage to
the tubing in the press area.
3. Remove bur from inside and outside
of tubing to prevent cutting
sealing element.
4. Mark proper insertion depth as
indicated by the ProPress XL-C
insertion depth chart. Improper
insertion depth may result in an
improper seal.

fit. Illustration demonstrates proper
fit of grip ring, separation ring and
sealing element. Use only ProPress
shiny black EPDM sealing elements.
7. While turning slightly, slide press
fitting onto tubing to the marked
depth. Do not use oils or lubricants.
8. ProPress XL-C fitting connections
must be performed with ProPress
XL-C Rings and V2 ACTUATOR.
