4.3 FITTING ASSEMBLY 1 1/4 TO 2 IN.

Assembling the EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve system with
diameters of 1 1/4 to 2 in. requires the use of the EVERLOC+ XL
Power Tool. Refer to the EVERLOC+ XL Power Tool Product Instruction
Manual (855.728) for a complete understanding of operation, care
and use of the tool.
Cold Expanding RAUPEX Pipe
The expansion process consists of the following steps:
1. Squarely cut the RAUPEX pipe.
- Using the pipe cutter, cut the pipe to the desired length. Prior to
cutting the pipe, ensure the pipe cutter is in good condition with a
sharp blade.
- The cut must be clean and square (i.e., forming a 90° angle with
side of pipe) and must be free of burrs, nicks and jagged ends.
NOTICE
Not having a clean, square cut of the pipe could cause leakage of the
finished joint.

2. Slide the EVERLOC+ compression sleeve onto RAUPEX pipe.
- Slide the properly-sized sleeve onto the pipe. The sleeve is
omnidirectional so either end of the compression sleeve can slide
on the pipe first.
- Slide the sleeve down the pipe at least two times the length of the
sleeve so the expander head can be inserted.
- The compression sleeve must not be expanded with the tool.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury from accidental activation
of the power tool:
- Always remove the battery pack before mounting or changing the
expansion adapter, expander head or compression jaws, and before
performing any other type of inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
3. Place expander head on tool expander adapter
- Select the properly sized expander head for the pipe diameter
(e.g., 1 1/2 in. expander head for 1 1/2 in. pipe).
- Each expander head has eight separate segments. Inspect each
expander head to ensure no segments are broken or chipped. Do
not use if the expander head is damaged.
NOTICE
Do not use damaged expander tools or expander heads, as these may
produce faulty joints that could leak.
