The storage case dimensions are 61 x 22 x 7 cm (L x W x H).

Are the lever arms adjustable?

Yes, the lever arms are extendable, ranging from 36 to 55.5 cm, to provide optimal power delivery.

Troubleshooting

Pliers are difficult to close or operate

Ensure the lever arms are fully extended and that there are no obstructions. Check that the correct adaptor is inserted and that the pipe is properly seated. Apply steady, even pressure.

Incomplete or weak crimp

Verify that the correct adaptor size is being used for the pipe. Ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the fitting and adaptor. Check for any leaks in the hydraulic system (if applicable) or excessive wear on the jaws.

Head does not rotate freely

Clean any debris from the rotation mechanism. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot point of the head.

Adaptor does not fit securely

Ensure you are using the correct adaptor for the pipe size. Check the adaptor and the pliers' slot for any dirt or damage that may be preventing a snug fit.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Requires specific types of pipes compatible with hydraulic crimping.
  • Can be heavy for extended overhead work due to its robust build.
  • May be an overkill for very small, simple plumbing tasks.
  • Learning curve for optimal pressure application on different materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select the appropriate press adaptor for the pipe size you are working with (16, 20, 26, or 32 mm).
  2. Insert the adaptor securely into the designated slot on the crimping head.
  3. Place the pipe to be crimped into the adaptor, ensuring it is fully seated.
  4. Extend the lever arms to their desired length for optimal leverage.
  5. Position the pliers around the pipe and fitting, ensuring the crimp is placed correctly.
  6. Squeeze the handles firmly and steadily until the crimping cycle is complete.

Compatibility:

These pliers are designed for use with specific types of pipes and fittings that are compatible with hydraulic crimping systems. Always ensure your pipes and fittings are rated for this type of joining method. The included adaptors cover diameters of 16, 20, 26, and 32 mm.

Care:

  • After each use, wipe down the pliers with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris.
  • Apply a light coat of lubricating oil to the moving parts periodically to ensure smooth operation.
  • Store the pliers and adaptors in the provided storage case to protect them from damage and the elements.
  • Periodically inspect the jaws and adaptors for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
