WARNING
Improper handling of the power tool can increase the risk of pinch or
crush injury. The tool is designed for one-handed operation and there
are no gripping surfaces outside of the control handle. To reduce the
risk of serious personal injury:
- Wrap your fingers tightly around the control handle as shown in this
manual and keep a secure grasp on the tool during work.
- Use only your index finger to trigger the tool. Using other fingers to
trigger the tool may cause you to lose control of the power tool or
increase the risk of personal injury, including pinch injuries.
- Keep hands away from the expander head, hydraulic slide and
compression jaws during operation.
4. Insert expander head into end of RAUPEX pipe.
- Fully insert the expander head into the end of the pipe ensuring
the sleeve is slid past the end of the expander segments.
- Ensure the end of the pipe makes contact with the first step of the
expander head.
- Ensure the compression sleeve is a minimum of two times the
length of the sleeve from the end of the pipe. The compression
sleeve must not be in the expansion zone.
WARNING
Moving parts can crush and cut. This power tool uses a strong
hydraulic force to expand RAUPEX PEXa pipe and compress compo-
nents of the REHAU EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve system. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury during operation:
- Never touch the expander head, hydraulic slide or compression jaws
during operation.
- Keep hands and other parts of your body away from the expander
head, hydraulic slide and compression jaws during operation.
5. Expand RAUPEX pipe twice.
- Once the expander head is fully inserted into the pipe, press the
trigger button on the power tool.
- Ensure the expander head is rotated 1/2 of one expander head
segment between expansions.
- Remove the expander head from the pipe.

NOTICE
Do not expand the pipe and sleeve together. This could cause leakage
of the finished joint.
6. Insert EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve fitting into expanded
RAUPEX pipe.
- Push the fitting into the pipe so that the end of the pipe is
contacting the pipe stop of the fitting.
- If the fitting does not insert far enough, remove the fitting and
repeat the expansion process so that the fitting can be properly
inserted.
Compressing the Sleeve Onto the Fitting
The EVERLOC+ 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.
