compressed, heat the sleeves with a heat gun. Support the pipe while
keeping hands and other body parts away from the heat. Be careful
not to damage the fitting with the tool.

WARNING
- Do not use open flames to disassemble the joint. Open flames can
cause injury or property damage.
- Never use a torch, open flame or heat gun on a pressurized system.
- Never rework a connection that is under pressure. Depressurize the
system, cut out connection and replace.
For re-assembly of a new joint, the following should be considered:
- The end of the pipe where the previous fitting had been installed
must be completely cut off prior to making a new joint. Cutting off a
minimum of 3 in (approximately 75 mm) is recommended.
Fitting Removal for Partially Completed Joint (LF brass ONLY)
If the fitting has been inserted into the pipe, but the sleeve has not
been compressed, attempt to remove it without damaging the fitting.
If fitting cannot be easily removed, heat 1 to 1 1/2 in (25 to 38 mm) of
the pipe that covers the fitting and then follow procedures 2 and 3
under Fitting Removal for Completed Joint.
