Installation Instructions

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:
Illustration of a good connection:
1. Fitting shoulder location.
2. Pipe is cut square and stops at the tting shoulder.
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.

Adjustment Dial
How to adjust the crimp diameter:
C-Clip
1. Note the number that the adjustment dial is
currently set at.
2. Pop off the C-Clip that is aligned with the
adjustment dial with a small tool, such as a athead
screwdriver.
3. Slide the hexagonal adjustment dial head out
approximately 1/4".
4. Rotate the back pin until the line on the adjustment
dial head points to the next highest number on the
tool body.
5. Push the adjustment dial head back into position
and return the C-Clip to its original position.
The Angle Crimp
Tool is pre-calibrated
for 10,000 crimps.
After repeated use, the
crimp tool may need to
be adjusted to produce
a proper crimp result.
Please check every ring with the Go/No-Go Gauge after
crimping to ensure a proper connection.
