30、s mark requirements for the insert shall be in accordancewith Fig. 1.10. Assembly10.1 Crimp JointsInsert fittings shall be joined to PEXtubing by the compression of a copper crimp ring around theouter circumference of the tubing forcing the tubing materialinto annular spaces formed by ribs on the fi

The dimensions andout-of-roundness of the crimp ring after it has been crimpedshall be in accordance with Table 1.10.1.1 Crimping

32、ProcedureTo affix the insert fitting to thetubing with the crimp ring, the crimping procedure shall be asfollows: slide the crimp ring onto the tubing, insert the ribbedend of the fitting into the end of the tubing until the tubingcontacts the shoulder of the fitting or tube stop. The crimp ringshal

33、l then be positioned on the tubing so the edge of the crimpring contacts the shoulder of the fitting or tube stop. The jawsof the crimping tool shall be centered over the crimp ring andthe tool shall be held so that the crimping jaws are approxi-mately perpendicular to the axis of the barb. The jaws

34、 of thecrimping tool shall be closed around the crimp ring, compress-ing the crimp ring onto the tubing. The crimp ring shall not becrimped more than once. Each crimp shall be checked todetermine conformance to the after crimped dimensionalrequirements of Table 1.F2735 09 (2016)211. Test Methods11.1

35、 DimensionsAny randomly selected fitting or fittingsand crimp ring or crimp rings shall be used to determinedimensions. Measurements shall be made in accordance withTest Method D2122.
