D. Use
Assembling the Joint
- Slide the Sleeve and then LycoRing onto the pipe so that the LycoRing is approximately 3.5″ from the end of the pipe.
NOTE: Make sure the pipe is reasonably clean. - Nest the fitting in the saddle of either press plate.
- Place the tool so that the press plate opposite of the fitting is behind the completion sleeve.
- Slide the PE pipe over the nose of the fitting and pump the LHP-200 until press plate is in contact with the completion sleeve.
NOTE: Make sure that the completion sleeve engages the LycoRing and that the LycoRing does not slip along the PE pipe. - Operate the hydraulic pump to move the press plate and advance the spigot into the PE pipe until the pipe covers the last spigot barb.
- Release hydraulic pressure and allow the jaw to open enough to pull the sleeve back and expose the LycoRing and remove it by pulling the tab.
- Operate the hydraulic pump to move the press plate and advance the completion sleeve over the pipe and spigot. Stop pumping when the sleeve face is in contact with the fitting flange.
- To assemble the opposite side of the fitting, fully open the tool and repeat.
