Pegler Yorkshire VSH XPress Installation Instructions

installation instructions
1. mark the socket depth:
Ensuring full socket depth is achieved is vital for
the integrity of the joint. To check that the tube
and fitting remains in the correct position
throughout the pressing process you must
mark the socket depth with a 'V-Tail' mark.
If using slip sockets elongate the V (as per picture)
as the depth mark and V can be inserted past this
mark.

2. check the 0-ring seal:
Insert the tube into the fitting until it meets the tube stop, using the insertion depth mark as a visual aid.
Only when the tube reaches the tube stop should the pressing operation be commenced.
3. prepare the press-fit tool:
Select the correct combination of Press-tool, Jaws, Slings and adaptors for the joint being made.
note:
• always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for detailed information on how to operate your press-tool
safely
• check that the press tool and relevant jaws/slings have been maintained in accordance with their servicing/
calibration schedule
Make the tool safe by isolating it from the power supply. Select the correct jaws/sling jaws/sling jaw adaptor for the
joint being made, checking that they are free from damage. Attach the jaws/sling jaws/sling jaw adaptor to your
press-tool, following the instructions for your particular press-tool, and reconnect the power supply when ready.
66.7mm (67mm) Sling (S330 Snap on sling)
Novopress offers alternative slings for use on different press systems. As such Pegler reinforces the following
instruction.
Where 66.7mm slings are required for crimping VSH XPress fittings, installers must only use the following VSH
XPress/Novopress slings and adaptors:
Novopress reference
36516-50
45184-50
Under no circumstances should any other brand of sling be used with our 66.7mm fittings as these will lead to an
incorrect crimp resulting in an immediate joint failure and invalidate the Pegler warranty.
VSH XPress 66.7mm fittings that have inadvertently been crimped with the wrong brand of sling cannot be
successfully re-crimped with the VSH XPress 66.7 sling and will unfortunately have to be cut out and replaced with
a new fitting using the correct sling.
