6.4 The Viega PEX Crimp hand tools
The Viega PEX Crimp connection must always
be carried out with the aid of a Viega PEX Crimp
tool. There are multiple congurations of Viega
PEX Crimp tools that are ideal for tight spaces and
awkward locations. The compression of the tool
also allows for crimp connections to be made in
temperatures as low as -30°F.
A caliper (GO/NO GO gauge) is provided to check
the calibration of the crimp tool. A crimp is good
if the GO gauge ts over the ring and the NO GO
gauge does not.
At least one connection should be checked at the
beginning and end of each day to ensure proper
crimps have been made. Most crimp tools can be
recalibrated. Please refer to tool instructions on the
next page.
