Multicor Crimping

Yes, thank you John, just what I needed to know. Now you got me started on this stuff again!!: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm8txY989Iw">Samuel L. Bronkowitz Presents:</a>

Looking for the Uponor link

to the Multicor technical manual...or a nice photo of a properly crimped fitting. It is the grey O-ring at the bottom of the ferrule cup I am wondering about. Thanks guys!

here you go

you need to push to "cup" over the grey o-ring til it snaps in, then insert tubing
to "witness hole" then crimp.

Thanks Singh, I can't seem to get that file to open on my PC. I was pushing the O ring down the barb AFTER the cup was in place.....I'll give this other method a go. I also want to be sure of the placement of the crimping jaws. Should the side of the jaws butt up against the flange of the fitting? These are the 3/4" sweat adapters. Thanks again for the help!

Edit: Here is a photo of the inconsistent crimp position....

I added a photo of the fittings in question. No leaks on either, so far anyway, would be nice to know which is better.

both look okay...

You're better off, in terms of consistency, to have the press tool off the shoulder of the fitting just a hair so you have three press marks on the band, like the picture on the right in your post. Hope this helps...

Rock On!
