RAUTOOL M1
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
1. Using pipe cutters, cut pipe to required length at right angles and
without leaving burrs.
Note: Keep your hand at a safe distance from the tool. Do not use
saws or similar.
3. Expand pipe using expander or expander bit. Rotate 30° and
repeat. The minimum distance between expander head and
compression-sleeve must be one compression-sleeve length.
2. Slide compression sleeve onto pipe, ensuring that the inside taper
points toward joint.
Note: Slide the sleeve down the pipe at least two pipe diameters to
avoid damaging the pipe or tool during expansion.
4. Before the pipe shrinks back to its original shape, insert the
EVERLOC tting into the expanded pipe up to the stop. If the tting
does not insert far enough, pull the tting out and repeat the
expansion process.
Note: All sealing ribs must be covered. Until the memory effect has
set in completely, the tting can fall out of the pipe. Make sure that
the tting is correctly seated.
5. Insert the joint fully into the clamping tool.
Note: Do not tilt. Tool must be applied over full surface and at right
angles.
