Installation Guide

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.
