- Deburr the pipe internally and externally to form a smooth edge
- Check that the ‘O’ ring of the fitting is seated correctly and free from impurities
- Do not use jointing compound, oil or grease
- Insert the tube to the full depth of the socket
- Clearly mark the tube at full depth
- Aline the fitting with the jaw of the tool correctly
- Make the press connection, using a suitable M profile jaw.
