This tool was designed to be used with

all sizes of the patented QickClamp

(3/8"-1"). The ratchet mechanism of the

tool requires the tool to be completely

closed before it will open. The middle

handle allows the tool to be held with

one hand while allowing the other hand

to guide the tool over the QickClamp

ear.

1. Cutting Zurn PEX

Tubing

Using a blade type cutter, cut

tubing to desired length.

hand with your thumb over the

middle handle and your ngers

around the bottom handle. Place

tool jaws cover the entire ear of the

QickClamp before crimping. Failure

to do so will result in an improper

crimp and may void the warranty.

5. With the tool 90° to the tube, close

the middle handle until it contacts

the bottom handle. The ratchet will

lock the handles in place.

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.
