▶ Cut the tube square using a displacement-type cutter or ne toothed
saw.
Note: Cut tubing a minimum of four inches away from the contact area of
the vise to prevent possible damage to the tubing in the press area.
4.6 Cutting the Tube
Damaged tube and/or sealing element
Press ttings can form improper connections as the result
of damaged tube and/or sealing elements.
■ Do not use ame cutters when cutting the tube.
■ Do not use grease or oils when cutting the tube.
4.7 Deburring the Tube
Damage resulting from the wrong deburring tool
■ Connections may leak if they are damaged by improper
deburring.
■ Failure to deburr tubing will reduce the service life of the
system and can cause premature leaks.
The tube ends must be thoroughly deburred after cutting. Damage to
or twisting of the sealing element during installation is prevented by
deburring.
▶ Deburr inside and outside of the tube to the proper insertion depths.
▶ Use a wire brush, Scotchbrite pad, sand cloth, or sandpaper to
remove loose dirt and rust particles from the pressing area.
Avoid pressing over grooves, manufacturer’s stamps,
or engravings on the tube surface.
