The Zurn Medium QickClamp Crimp
Tool is factory set to provide proper
crimps. This should be checked before
use by making a test crimp connection
and checking it with the QickClamp
Go Gauge. As long as the nished
crimp connection gauges properly,
there is no need to adjust the tool.
We recommend checking nished
crimp connections frequently with
the Zurn QickClamp Go Gauge.
As more crimp connections are
made, the QickClamp tool will
require adjustment. This can be
detected by the crimp diameter
increasing and the completed
crimp does not gauge properly.
Using the
QickClamp Go Gauge
Check a completed connection with
the appropriate sized section of the
QickClamp Go Gauge. The gauge
should be applied to the half of the
QickClamp that is farthest away from
the tting as shown in the ‘Gauging
Area’ illustration. If the QickClamp
does not go into the Go Gauge, the
tting should be cut out, the tool
adjusted, and the tting replaced. For
tool adjustment, see the instructions
supplied with the tool.
Adjusting the
QickClamp Tool
1. With the tool in the open
position, remove the E-Clip
using a screwdriver.
2. Slide the adjustment pin back
about 1/4". Warning: The
Adjustment Pin must not be
pulled or pushed completely out.
Rotate the adjustment pin until the
line on the tool head points to the
next higher number on the pin. For
example, to tighten the crimp when
tool is set to zero (0), adjust the pin
to the one (1) position. There are
ve total adjustments.
3. Push adjustment pin back in and
reinstall the E-Clip. Apply light oil
to the tool pivot points each time
the tool is adjusted. Failure to
lubricate the tool will shorten
the tool’s life.
