Important Safety Information

Do not use on stainless pinch clamps or sleeves. Use only on copper crimp rings. Wear safety glasses.

Cut Tubing to Fitting

Cut tubing close to the fitting end using a PEX tubing cutter, avoiding damage to the fitting.

Position Tool on Crimp Ring

Insert the tool's anvil into the fitting and center the cutting blade over the copper crimp ring.

Perform Initial Cut

Close the tool to cut the ring. A designed gap prevents damage to the fitting's barbs.

Reposition Tool for Second Cut

Open the tool and position it opposite the initial cut area.

Butterfly Crimp Ring

Close the tool to impact the ring, causing it to butterfly for removal from the PEX tubing.

Score Tubing for Removal

If ring removal fails, score the PEX tubing in six locations to expand and aid removal.

Inspect Fitting for Damage

Examine the fitting for marks or deformation on barbs or inside diameter. Discard if damaged.
