How easy is it to make a connection !
( Page 1 of 3 )

Firstly, lightly grease the cone of the expander tool (1004051) then hand tighten the auto-rotation adaptor (Q6323810) in a clockwise direction.

Then, after lightly greasing the cone of the auto-rotation adaptor, hand tighten the appropriately sized expander
head again in a clockwise direction.

Finally check the battery has sufficient charge and then the expander tool is ready for use.

Cut the pipe at right angles, using appropriate plastic pipe cutters (e.g. 010620).

The pipe end should be dry and free from grease and dirt before a joint should be attempted.

 

Place the correct size of jointing ring onto the end of the pipe  ensuring that the lugs are flush with the
end of the pipe.

Gently insert the expander head into the end of the
pipe and depress the trigger on the expander tool;
the expander head will begin to splay and expand the
end of the pipe. 

When it has reached the end of its expansion, pull the expander head away from the end of the pipe
(and away from the pipe wall)
and release the trigger
(this will allow the head to rotate). 

N.B. Failure to remove the head when releasing the
trigger or excessive forcing of the head into the pipe
end may result in the auto-rotation function not working.
