3.EPDM sealing element:

Operating temperature: 0°F to 250°F (-18°C to 120°C)

The EPDM sealing element has particularly good resistance to hot water, making it ideal for seals and gaskets in heating systems, fittings and household application (e.g. washing machines, pumps, dishwashers).

4.1/2" to 2" Installation:

1.Cut copper tube to length using a pipe cutter.

2.Deburr carefully the end of the tube on the inside to minimize turbulence and pressure loss.

3.For existing copper tube, clean the end with emery paper or a soft scourer.

4.Make the insertion depth by lining up the fitting side by side with the tube and mark the tube. When the   fitting is inserted onto the tube the outer edge of the fitting must line up with the marking.

5.Select pressing jaw according to the fitting dimension and insert into the pressing machine. Arrest the locking bolts of the machine. Check the jaws are free from debris and in good working order.

6.Ensure you have the correct fitting for the application (e.g. water or gas). Check the fitting is clean and the O-ring is free from debris and correctly sitting in place. Push fitting on tube all the way to the engagement marking.

7.Check the fitting outer edge still lines up with the marking. Open the pressing jaw and close it around the fitting so the raised bump in the fitting rests inside the groove of the pressing jaw.

8.Initiate the pressing job by pressing the start button. The automatic pressing process guarantees a tight connection. The pressing process can be interrupted by pressing the emergency-stop button.

9.Visually inspect the fitting to ensure the press has been completed.
