Assembly9.1 Crimp JointsInsert fittings shall be joined

38、to PEX, or PEX-AL-PEX, tubing by the compression of a copper crimp ringaround the outer circumference of the tubing, forcing the tubing material into annular spaces formed by ribs on the fitting. Insertfittings and crimp rings shall meet the dimensional and material requirements of this standard. Th

39、e dimensions andout-of-roundness of the crimp ring, after it has been crimped, shall be in accordance with Table 1.9.1.1 Crimping ProcedureThe crimping procedure shall be as follows: slide the crimp ring onto the tubing, insert the ribbedend of the fitting into the end of the tubing until the tubing

40、 contacts the shoulder of the fitting or tube stop. The crimp ring shallthen be positioned on the tubing so the edge of the crimp ring is 18 to 14 in. (3.2 to 6.4 mm) from the end of the tube. The jawsof the crimping tool shall be centered over the crimp ring and the tool shall be held so that the c

41、rimping jaws are approximatelyperpendicular to the axis of the barb. The jaws of the crimping tool shall be closed around the crimp ring, compressing the crimpring onto the tubing. The crimp ring shall not be crimped more than once. Each crimp shall be checked to determine conformanceto the after-cr
