ASTM F2080 Lock Tools
Expansion Tool Verication and Use
(3/8” - 1¼”)
USE:
1. Attach appropriately sized expansion head to an
ASTM F2080 Lock expansion tool.
2. Ensure assembly is wholly intact and the male
threads of the tool or female threads of the jaw set are
not compromised.
3. Ensure the retention spring on the OD of the tool
jaw is in place and not compromised. If a jaw section is
missing or damaged, replace the expansion jaw.
4. Keep the expansion jaw and the tool driver
properly lubricated.
5. For any battery issues with F2080 power tools under
warranty, call Sioux Chief customer service.
Compression Tool Verication and Use
(3/8” - 1¼”)
USE:
1. Remove set pin from both top and bottom tool
handle section.
2. Place the compression jaw-set pieces in each side
and place the set pin back through the tool and jaw
guide hole, locking the piece to the tool. Jaw pieces
must be positioned where offset is facing to the outside.
3. Open handle grips wide enough to place around
backside of sleeve and tting yoke. Once initial
compression has been made, mid handle pivot can be
opened and the linkage will allow further compression
especially in tighter locations.
4. Ensure tool chain is not compromised or inhibited
by debris. Ensure expansion end fully engages I.D. of
pipe for proper installation.
5. Keep all linkages well lubricated for maximum
tool wear.
Large Diameter
Expansion/Compression Tool Use
(1½" - 2")
USE – HYDRAULIC METHOD:
1. Screw on the expansion jaw for the appropriate
sized connection. Place sleeve over tubing and make
pipe expansion. Install tting into the expansion.
2. Place compression jaws onto tool head. Both jaws
must match for size of connection being made. The
larger jaw loads onto tool rst with platform end rst.
The second jaw loads with the platform rst as well.
3. Line up holes in the tting chuck and place the pin to
lock jaw heads to tool.
TO MAKE JOINT:
1. Depress the pressure relief valve on the tool pump.
Jaws will separate.
2. Place jaws around tting yoke and sleeve. Assure tool
fully engages tting and sleeve in the correct anged
location for each.
3. Activate the tool until compression is complete.
Depress the pressure relief to open tool jaws.
4. Test joint.
Do not touch moving Parts.
