The use of traditional PEX components (manifolds, barbed ttings, clamp or crimp rings, etc.) oers the total
lowest material cost.
Use pipe cutters to make a square cut of the pipe to length. A rough
or uneven cut can result in a weakened joint.
Step 1
Slide the appropriate clamp ring size over the pipe to about
2 inches from the end of the pipe.
Step 2
Push the pipe onto the barbed tting until it touches the tting
shoulder. Position the clamp ring 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the end of the
pipe. This distance ensures that the clamp ring is positioned directly
over the barbs on the tting.
Step 3
Position the open jaws of the clamp tool over the raised tabs of the
clamp ring and squeeze.
One clamp tool ts all size clamp rings. It can be operated with one
hand, leaving the other hand free to hold the clamp ring in position.
The tool cannot be removed until the clamp ring is fully compressed.
A properly calibrated clamp tool eliminates the need to check each
tting ring with a go/no-go gauge.
Step 4
Verify the connection is secure by visually checking the
clamp tab.
