4. ASSEMBLY

Fitting Assembly
Assembling and installation of the EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve
system requires the use of the EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools.
These tools are battery-operated, hand-held tools. Only make
EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve joints with these tools.
Refer to the EVERLOC+ Power Tool Product Instruction Manual
(855.725), EVERLOC+ XL Power Tool Product Instruction Manual
(855.728) and the EVERLOC+ XL Expander Tool Product Instruction
Manual (855.729) for a complete understanding of operation, care
and use of the EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools.
WARNING
Read the instruction manual for the EVERLOC+
compression sleeve tools before use and follow all safety
precautions – improper use can cause serious personal
injury or property damage.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of permanent eye injury, always wear
close-fitting protective eyewear with side protection.
Eyewear must be impact-rated and marked as
complying with ANSI Z87.1.
NOTICE
Use only EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools for assembly and
installation. Use of other tools will result in an improperly assembled
joint, which may result in leaking and property
The basic process of assembling an EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve
joint is as follows:
- Make a clean, square cut of the RAUPEX pipe using a REHAU pipe
cutter
- Slide the EVERLOC+ compression sleeve over the RAUPEX pipe
ensuring the sleeve is a minimum of two times the length of the
sleeve from the end of the cut pipe to allow for expansion of the pipe
only
- Expand the RAUPEX pipe twice, ensuring the expander head is
rotated 1/2 of one expander head segment between expansions,
using the EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools
- Insert the EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve fitting into the expanded
end of the RAUPEX pipe so that the pipe is touching the pipe stop on
the fitting
- Compress the EVERLOC+ compression sleeve over the RAUPEX
pipe and EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve fitting using the
EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools
Required assembly tools include:
- REHAU RAUPEX pipe cutter
- EVERLOC+ compression-sleeve tools
- EVERLOC+ expander heads and compression jaws

The EVERLOC+ compression jaws and expander heads are color-
coded per each size to provide a visual confirmation that the correct
jaws and expander head are assembled onto the tool. Prior to making
a compression joint, ensure the correct size of jaws and heads are
being used.

NOTICE
For use only with RAUPEX PEXa pipe and the EVERLOC+ compres-
sion-sleeve fitting system. Other materials or fittings may crack or
otherwise fail which could result in leaking and property damage.
Use only REHAU or REHAU-approved expander heads and compres-
sion jaws that match the dimension of the RAUPEX PEXa pipe being
installed (e.g., ½ in. expander head and compression jaws for ½ in.
pipe). Use of unauthorized attachments or REHAU attachments that
are the wrong size may result in faulty joints, which can lead to leaking
and property damage.
