Product Information

Identify the right copper pipe size: Using a measuring tape and marker, measure and mark the correct length of copper pipe needed for the project.

Ease of use: The tool should be comfortable and easy to use. Look for features like ergonomic handles, ratchet mechanisms, and a design that makes it easy to crimp in tight spaces. Clean the pipe with a wire brush or sandpaper to remove any leftover fitting material before installing a new fitting.

Something Went Wrong

Crimp the fitting: With the crimping jaws securely attached, place the crimping tool over the press fitting. Ensure the tool is perpendicular to the pipe to achieve a uniform crimp. Once the tool is in place, squeeze the handle to start crimping. Some tools may require multiple crimps around the fitting to ensure a proper seal. Deburr the pipe: Use a deburring tool to remove any burrs or imperfections from the edges after cutting. This step is crucial as any leftover burr can damage the o-ring within the press fitting, leading to potential leaks. Soldering is a more traditional method that involves using a soldering iron or gun to melt down solder (metal alloy) to join a copper lug to a battery cable. Once the solder cools, it forms a hard and independent connection that allows electrical conductivity between the two components. Inspect the crimp: A properly crimped fitting will connect seamlessly to the pipe with no visible gaps. Some crimping tools have an indicator that shows whether a crimp is complete or not. Use a rotary tool with a cutting wheel to carefully cut a slit along the length of the fitting. Be careful not to cut into the pipe itself.

Some crimping tools are adjustable and can work with various pipe sizes, while others are fixed and designed for one specific pipe size.
