Fitting Insertion
Verify that the RAUPEX pipe is inserted completely onto the fitting and
is touching the pipe stop. If the end of the pipe is not touching the
pipe stop of the fitting, the fitting should be removed and the pipe
expanded again for proper insertion.

Finished Joint
- A properly completed EVERLOC+ joint requires the compression
sleeve to be flush with the fitting collar. A small gap of 0.030 in
(0.75 mm) is acceptable.
- A finished EVERLOC+ joint should appear aligned when visually
inspecting the pipe in relation to the fitting and sleeve.
- To avoid putting unnecessary stress on the pipe, fitting or sleeve,
ensure that the transition of the pipe into the EVERLOC+ fitting is
not at an angle.
- A finished joint can be visually inspected. There are no calibration
tools or go/no-go gauges required to inspect a finished joint.
