in either direction.
Fig. 5-1 Cut the pipe at 90° and without burrs
1. Prior to cutting the pipe ensure the cut length accounts
for the insertion depth of the pipe into the EDGE
TM
Fitting (Approximately 1 sleeve length).
2. Select the appropriate pipe cutter (refer to Tab 4-1).
3. Cut the pipe at 90° and without burrs.
• Check the blade of the pipe cutters regularly for
damage and replace the blade or the cutters as
necessary.
• If the pipe was cut improperly, re-cut the pipe to
ensure a square and burr-free cut.
Check that the inner sleeve is in the correct position. If
necessary, re-insert the loose inner sleeve onto the clip.
•
Note the direction of insertion: Inner sleeve groove facing
the clip, chamfer on the other side.
• Push the inner sleeve back onto the clip by hand.
• Check the correct position of the inner sleeve: Hold the
clip and turn the inner sleeve at the same time. The inner
sleeve shall be easy to turn and shall be fully assembled
before making the joint.
