Multi-Head PEX Crimp Tool Kit
#23100
Instruction Guide
Crimps conform to ASTM F 1807
Connection Assembly
Cut the tube so that a clean, straight end is provided. Slide the crimp
ring over the tube end. Insert the fitting into the tubing until the
shoulder of the fitting contacts the tubing end. Position the crimp ring
1/8" to 1/4" (3.2 to 6.4 mm) from the cut end of the tubing. Place the
opened jaws of the PEX Crimp Tool around the crimp ring. Check to
be sure that the crimp ring is still properly positioned. Compress the
tool handles to complete the assembly.
CHECK ALL CRIMPS WITH GO/NO-GO GAGE
Gaging Procedure
1. Determine proper size of tubing: 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" or 1"
2. If GO cavity fits over crimped ring and NO-GO does not, tool is
crimping properly.
3. If GO cavity does not fit then handle distance must be increased.
4. If GO fits—check NO-GO. If NO-GO fits over crimped ring, the ring is
over-crimped, decrease handle distance. Recheck.
NOTE: Over-crimped and under-crimped rings must be removed from
tubing. Crimp with a new copper ring.
Adjustment Procedure
1. Close tool handles until pre-load is reached (this is the point at
which jaws touch). Tool should not be completely closed.
2. Measure the distance between dots on the handle ends as shown.
8" - 8-3/4" is the correct distance. If the distance is not 8" - 8-3/4"
the tool must be adjusted.
3. To change the handle ends distance, remove the #6-32 eccentric
lock screw with an Allen wrench and push up eccentric from back.
Rotate eccentric counter-clockwise to increase the handle distance
and clockwise to decrease handle distance. Move eccentric until
hand distance is between 8" - 8-3/4". Push down eccentric and
re-install the #6-32 lock screw in the appropriate hole which most
closely yields the desired handle distance.
4. Recheck the set distance after making three crimps. The distance
should be 8" - 8-3/4" between the "dots" on the handles.
5. Check the crimps with the go/no-go gauge provided. If satisfactory
crimps do not result, the tool is likely worn and should be replaced.

Tool Maintenance
1. Check tool calibration daily. It
is recommended that at least
the first and last crimps of the
day are tested.
2. Never exceed the specified
handle distance when
adjusting your crimp tool.
Premature wear will result.
3. Lubricate linkages on a regular
basis to maximize tool life.
