crush OD of tubing with cutters.
Hint: Slightly rotate cutter during
blade engagement.
2. Install V-Sleeve Stainless Steel
Compression Sleeve onto OD of tubing

ASTM F877 Sioux Chief V-Sleeve Stainless Steel Press
Sleeve for PowerPEX (SDR9) Tubing
Sioux Chief has patented a stainless steel sleeve for
F1807 and/or F2159 ttings.
V-Sleeve is a compression sleeve that incorporates
notches at the top to evidence proper placement of
the tube against the tube stop on a tting, ensuring a
perfect installation.
Connection is made by compressing the sleeve to
create a full 360-degree seal over all the sealing
barbs. Sleeves can be pre-loaded onto the tube or
tting before installation and can remain in place for
ease of installation.
