1. Slide the correct slot
on the gauge around
the crimped ring.
2. If the ring does not t
into the slot at all, then
the crimp is a “No-Go”.
Adjust the crimping force
on the tool and re-crimp
the ring.
3. If the ring slides into the
slot and stops in the
“Go” range, then the
crimp is good.
4. If the ring slides all the
way into the slot,
then the crimp ring is
compressed too small
and is a “No-Go”.
Remove the ring and
adjust the crimping force
on the tool.
PEX Go/No-Go Gauge
How to use:
1. Open the handle, then
loosen the nut on the
screw with the
numbers surrounding
it.
2. Push and rotate the
screw. Increase the
number for more crimp
force. Decrease the
number for less crimp
force.
3. Push the screw back
into place and tighten
the nut.
How to adjust the crimp force:
If your crimp tool has screws on
the side, to adjust the crimp force
rst loosen the set screw. Next,
tighten the adjustment screw for
more force or loosen the screw for
less force. Finally, tighten the set
screw after any adjustments.
Illustration of a good connection:
1. Fitting shoulder location.
2. Pipe is cut square and stops at tting sholder.
3. Position the CrimpRing 1/8" - 1/4" from the end of the pipe, directly over
two end ribs of the tting.
4. The CrimpRing is evenly compressed over the pipe and shows no
evidence of uneven distortion.
5. The PEX material is uniformly compressed between the ribs, resulting in
a leak-free, quality joint.
