Flaring&Cutting Ring Pre-Assembly Machine-Guide for Pre-assembling Compression Fittings

1.Pipe Preparation

Ensure that there is a straight - pipe section at the end of the pipe. Cut the pipe at a right angle with an angular error of +1°. Do not cutthe pipe with a grinding wheel, Gently deburr the inside and outside of the pipe and clean the pipe thoroughly.

2.Select the correct pre-assembly die according to the size of the pipe. Place thedie correctly on the pre-assembly machine and adjust the pressure.

3.Put the nut and the compression fitting onto the pipe in sequence. The end ofthe compression fitting with the cutting edge should face the pipe end.

4. Insert the pipe with the compression fitting nut correctly into the pre-assemblydie, and make sure the nut is between the baffle and the sleeve. The pipe mustreach the bottom end of the sleeve before the pre-assembly is completed. Holdthe steel pipe horizontally by hand and press the start button of the equipment untilthe pre-assembly is finished.

5.Take out the pre-assembled pipe and check the raised ring on the pipe at the front edge of the compression fiting. This raised ringof material should cover at least 80% of the end face of the compression fiting. At this time,the compression fiting can rotate left andright on the pipe but cannot move up and down, which is the best pre-assembly state.(See the assembly guide of KC-A01/KC-A02 for details.)
