1. Square off tubing to proper length. Uneven, jagged or
irregular cuts will produce unsatisfactory connections.
2. If using FostaPEX tubing, insert into prep tool, push
and turn until no resistance is felt. If using ViegaPEX,
continue to step 3.
3. Insert PEX Press fitting with attached sleeve into tubing
and engage fully.
4. Ensure full tubing insertion at view holes in attached
press sleeve. Full insertion means tubing must be
completely visible in at least two view holes and partially
visible in the one.
5. Position press tool perpendicular over Press
Sleeve resting it against the tool locator ring.
Note: The tool locator ring must be in the factory
installed position while making a press to ensure a
consistent leakproof connection. It may be necessary to
rotate the tool locator ring to avoid interference between
the ring and tool.
6. Close handles, using trigger to reduce grip span if
desired.
7. Extend handle and continue ratcheting until automatic
tool release occurs at proper compression force.
Warning: The connection is not leakproof when the tool has
been opened by emergency release. The tool locator ring
must be present to ensure a proper PEX Press connection.
