Press collar
Important note!
Intermediate jaw ZB 301 or ZB 302 must be used for nominal sizes 42 and 54. Intermediate jaw ZB 321 is
used for nominal sizes 76.1; 88.9 and 108.0.
Nominal sizes 76.1and 88.9 are pressed in one work operation. Nominal size 108.0 is first pre-pressed
with intermediate jaw ZB 321. The press collar remains in this pre-pressed state on the press fitting. The
catch prevents the press collar from slipping out of position. The pressing cycle is completed using
intermediate jaw ZB 322.
