The use of the press jaw insert model 2499.1 (12 mm) is not permitted!
INFO!
The illustrations show examples of how a press connector is pressed with a Fonterra pipe. The presentation of the press connector and that of the pipe may therefore differ from your product.
Creating a press connection
-
Use a pipe shear (model 5341) to cut the Fonterra pipe to length at right angles.
-
Push the pipe into the press connector until the pipe end is visible in the inspection window.
-
Check the position of the seal ring and the insertion depth of the pipe in the press collar before pressing.
-
Open the press jaw and place at a right-angle onto the connector.
-
Start the pressing process and await the complete process.
-
The press connection is completed.
-
Check system for leak tightness before commissioning:
