Check Calibration of Clamp Tool
Calibrating the Clamp Tool
Removal of a Clamp or Complete Connection
Always check the Clamp Tool with the calibration gauge
before the rst and after the last crimp on each job site.
If the gauge goes into the jaws beyond the GO portion, the
Clamp Tool should be recalibrated following these steps.
Place a at-bladed screw driver
under the clamp tab and pry up
to unlock. Then using a clamp
removal tool or pliers grab onto
the tab and pull free.
1. Close the Clamp
Tool handles to the
stop point and insert
gauge into jaw gap
1. Place GO portion of
gage into jaw gap
3. Adjust clamp
tool jaws by rotating
the eccentric stud
counter-clockwise
until jaws contact
gauge. Re-tighten
the locking nut.
2. Loosen locking nut
2. Gauge must stop at the
NO-GO line in order to
make proper connections
Note: The previously clamped section of SharkBite tubing
should be cut off prior to making a new connection.
WARNING
Tools out of calibration
may not make good
long-term connections
and can result in leaks
developing over time.
