Compressing the Sleeve Onto the Fitting
The EVERLOC+ XL Power Tool has interchangeable compression jaws
to pull the compression sleeve over the pipe and fitting to complete
the assembly. This step completes the fitting installation process.
The compression process consists of the following steps:
1. Place the EVERLOC+ compression jaws onto fitting and pipe.
- The compression jaws are color coded. For each size, there is a
black jaw and a chrome-plated jaw. The black jaw is to be
inserted onto the fitting collar and the chrome-plated jaw is to be
inserted onto the pipe with contact to the end of the sleeve.
2. Compress sleeve onto fitting.
- Once the jaws are placed firmly against the fitting and sleeve,
press the trigger button on the power tool and the sleeve will slide
over the fitting. Allow the power tool to completely cycle through
so the sleeve meets the front of the collar on the fitting. When
completed, remove the tool from the fitting.
- If necessary to make installation easier, the tool head can be
rotated, the compression jaws can be mounted on the side or the
compression jaws can be swapped and flipped.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of crush or cut injury, remove index finger from
trigger before rotating the tool head.

WARNING
In the event of a pinch or unintended compression, release the
hydraulic pressure with the release button.
3. Inspect completed EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve joint.
- The EVERLOC+ compression sleeve should close tightly against
the collar of the fitting. A maximum gap of up to 0.030 in (0.75
mm), or about the thickness of a credit card, is acceptable. This
applies to all sizes of fittings. If the gap is more than 0.030 in
(0.75 mm) and the joint has just been completed, use the power
tool to slide the sleeve further onto the fitting.
Once complete, the fitting is immediately ready for system
pressure testing.
