8.2 Starting position of the press collar (Fig. 5)
EN
The press collar must be positioned in the way shown (oval shape) before it is placed on a fitting. After
the press collar has been opened and removed from a fitting, the press collar must again be
positioned in the way shown.
8.3 Closing the collar (Fig. 6 + 7)
• By pressing the outer end of the shell gently, the shell moves inwards. (Fig. 6)
• The line (A) must be at the same height of the edge (B) when the press collar is positioned
correctly. (Fig. 7)
8.4 Opening the collar (Fig. 8 + 9)
To open the press collar, the two outer shells can be swivelled away from the pipe, either individually
or together, as described below.
First try the process with one hand before you try it with both hands together.
If you just open one side first and then the other you must hold the press collar tightly when opening
the second side so that it does not fall off.
Information!
To ensure that the press collars function correctly, the sliding segments must be free to
move.
The sliding segments are always pressed back automatically into the correct starting
position by springs.
Therefore:
– Ensure that marking lines (M) on shells (C) are aligned with the edges of the sliding
segments (D) when the press collar is in starting position. (Fig. 5)
– If this is not the case, have the press collars repaired.
CAUTION!
There is a risk that the press collar will break if it is positioned incorrectly
If the press collar is positioned incorrectly on the fitting the press collar may become
damaged.
Therefore:
– The line (A) must be at the same height of the edge (B).
– If this is not the case, remove the press collar again and reposition it.
• To open the press collar the following 2 steps must be carried out. (Fig. 8)
o Press lever (15) at the position marked in the direction of the pipe and hold it
there.
o Grip shell (16) at the position marked from below and swivel it away from the
pipe.
• Once a certain point has been reached the shell automatically moves to its final
position and makes an audible click.
• By pulling the two outer shells (16) apart, open the press collar far enough to remove
it from the press fitting. (Fig. 9)
