The tubing should be cut squarely
and evenly without burrs. Uneven,
jagged, or irregular cuts will produce
unsatisfactory connections.

Slide the crimp ring onto the tubing
and insert the tting into the tube to
the shoulder or tube stop.

When checking crimp
connections with a caliper (GO/
NO GO gauge), push the gauge
STRAIGHT DOWN over the crimped
ring. NEVER slide the gauge in from
the side. Do not attempt to gauge the
crimp at the jaw overlap area. The
overlap area is indicated by a slight
removal of the blackening treatment. A
crimp is acceptable if the GO gauge
ts the ring and the NO GO does
not. A crimp is unacceptable if the
GO gauge does not t the ring or the
NO GO gauge does t. An incorrect
crimp must be cut out of the tubing
and replaced.
CAUTION!
Do not crimp twice.
Crimp dimensions can be
veried with the Go/No-Go
gauge.
