Viega PureFlow Crimp Compact
Angled Hand Tool
Viega products are designed to be
installed by licensed and trained plumbing
and mechanical professionals who are
familiar with Viega products and their installation.
Installation by non-professionals may void
Viega LLC's warranty.
CAUTION!
The PureFlow crimp compact angled
hand tool handles do not open like pliers.
Forcing the handles apart could cause tool failure.
Use this tool to crimp only copper crimp
rings made to ASTM F1807, F2159, and
brass, copper, or plastic fittings for ASTM
F876/F877 SDR9 PureFlow PEX tubing. Tool may
also be used to make crimp connections with PB
tubing and appropriate rings and fittings.
WARNING!
Important crimp tool instructions: read
before use. Do not use this tool unless you
can execute a proper crimp according to approved
methods and recognized standards.
Making a Crimp
If you cannot complete a proper crimp
with your tool (including the ability to
apply enough force to make the tool work
correctly) discontinue use of the tool.

1
With the pipe, fitting, and crimp ring in assembly
position: Pull back on the upper, moving handle
and hold both handles closed with jaws in full
open position.
2
Position jaws around the crimp ring.
3
Gently release hand pressure on the moving
handle to let the jaws close properly and squarely
over the crimp ring.
4 Firmly press the handles to complete the crimp.
CAUTION!
Do not crimp twice.
5
Pull back on the moving handle to release the tool
from the crimp ring.
Completed crimps must meet the
dimensional requirements of ASTM F1807
and F2159 fitting standards.
6
Check the first and last crimp of the day using
either the included crimp caliper (GO gauge),
Viega's crimp caliper (part number 53507) or other
suitable measuring device.
■ Do not make the measurement at the scarred (jaw
overlap point) portion of the ring.
■ If the GO side does not fit over the ring, it is under
crimped. The connection must be cut out, the
fitting replaced and new crimp rings used. The tool
must be adjusted before proceeding.
■ The dimensional accuracy of the crimp caliper
can be affected by normal field wear and tear.
Therefore, it is recommended you check it with
a suitable measuring device or change to a new
gauge regularly to ensure measurement accuracy.
■
The PureFlow crimp compact angled hand
tool is user adjustable. When the tool makes
unsatisfactory crimps it must be adjusted.
