3.2.2 Creating the arings
- Cut the pipe to an appropriate length with a pipe-cutter
without damaging it.
- Carefully deburr it, holding the pipe pointing downward
to avoid introducing lings into the pipe.
- Remove the ared connection nut situated on the
valve to be connected and slide the pipe into the nut.
- Proceed to are it, letting the pipe protrude out of the
aring tool's tube.
- After aring, check the state of the working radius (L).
This must not present any scratches or signs of
fracturing. Also check the dimension (B).
