CRIMPINGWITH DOUBLEANGLE DIES
CRIMPING WITH DOUBLE ANGLE DIES
Double Angle dies double the radial crimping force of the die set
allowing heavier fittings to be crimped. Due to the doubling of the
radial crimp force, they are effective for a smaller range of diameters
thanastandarddieset. Also,thefittingmustbe approximatelycentered
axially along the crimping face to avoid taper in the final crimp.
Remove the standard flat Pressure Plate and replace it with
theDBLBASEbottom compression ring.
The bottom Pressure Plate is held in place with a set screw. Access to
this set screw is through the hole in the hand hazard decal.
Note: The angles are not the same on standard and double angle dies
and the standard compression rings are not interchangeable with
double angle compression rings.
