Installation

01
pipe cutter

Cut

Using an Austec pipe cutter, cut the pipe square.

02
check

Check and Insert

Using the correct sized Austec fitting, firstly check that the fitting is clean and debris free. Insert the pipe into the stainless steel sleeve and over the barb on the fitting. The sleeves have inspection holes, ensure the pipe is pushed to the shoulder of the fitting and can be seen through these holes.

03
crimp tools

Crimp

Using the correct sized Austec crimper, open the jaw of the crimper and insert the fitting so the sleeve part of the fitting is in the jaw and butted up to the plastic shoulder (but not over the plastic shoulder). Close the handles of the crimper until the handles are fully closed; at this point the handles will feel locked.

Open the jaws and remove the fitting.

Please Note

  • Always check crimps with a crimping gauge. The gauge should easily pass over each crimp.
  • Always follow the pressure testing protocol outlined in AS/NZS 3500 for water and AS/NZS 5601 for gas, as well as any local regulations and requirements.
