Crimp Hand Tool
®
The Compact Angled PureFlow Crimp Hand Tool
handles do not open like pliers. Forcing the handles
apart could cause tool failure.
Use this tool to crimp only copper crimp rings made to ASTM F1807,
F2159, and brass, copper, or plastic fittings for ASTM F876/F877
SDR9 PureFlow PEX tubing. Tool may also be used to make crimp
connections with PB tubing and appropriate rings and fittings.
READ BEFORE US. Do not use this tool unless you can
execute a proper crimp according to approved methods and
recognized standards.

Making a Crimp

If you cannot complete a proper crimp with your tool (including
the ability to apply enough force to make the tool work correctly)
discontinue use of the tool.
1. With the pipe, fitting, and crimp ring in assembly position:
Pull back on the upper, moving handle and hold both
handles closed with jaws in full open position.
2. Position jaws around the crimp ring.
3. Gently release hand pressure on the moving handle to let
the jaws close properly and squarely over the crimp ring.
4. Firmly press the handles together to complete the crimp.
DO NOT CRIMP TWICE.
5. Pull back on the moving handle to release the tool from the
crimp ring.
Note: Completed crimps must meet the dimensional
requirements of ASTM F1807 and F2159 fitting standards.
• Check the first and last crimp of the day using either the
included crimp caliper (GO gauge), Viega's crimp caliper (part
number 53507) or other suitable measuring device.
• DO NOT make the measurement at the scarred (jaw overlap
point) portion of the ring.
• If the GO side does NOT fit over the ring, it is under crimped.
The connection must be cut out, the fitting replaced and
new crimp rings used. The tool must be adjusted before
proceeding.
• The dimensional accuracy of the Crimp Caliper can be
affected by normal field wear and tear. Therefore, it is
recommended you check it with a suitable measuring device
or change to a new gauge regularly to ensure measurement
accuracy.
• The Compact Angled PureFlow Crimp Hand Tool is user
adjustable. When the tool makes unsatisfactory crimps it must
be adjusted.
