F2080 Application Problems

Expand Type-B tube slowly and assure expansion jaw

is rotated in tube between expansions. Assure that the

expansion is uniform without thin sections. NOTE: Cold

tube needs to be addressed with a greater amount of

caution than 55ºF or warmer tubing.

Do not install brass sleeve backwards. The sleeve has

been tested as installed backwards and does provide

a solid connection; however, the sleeve is built with an

ID tooth to keep a tube from backing off. To assure the

most robust connection, install the sleeve correctly.

Do not expand tube too close to another tting where

the expansion jaw may overlap into the existing sleeve

because the tool jaws will break on the ID of the

brass sleeve.
