Cut the pipe perpendicular to its axis
using special cutter.
Shape the pipe as required. Bend
using external or internal spring. Obey
minimum bending radius R b ≥ 5 D z .
Calibrate the pipe and bevel its inner
edge no deeper than to the aluminum
layer.

Slide the steel sleeve over the pipe.
Next, slide the pipe with the steel
sleeve over the fitting up to the end of
body. Control the O-Rings by
watching the fitting when sliding the
pipe with the steel sleeve. Slide the
steel sleeve up to the fitting flange.
Place the jaw on the steel sleeve so it
touches the flange of fitting body. The
external edge of the jaw should have a
contact with the flange but not clasp
the flange of fitting body.
Start the press machine and make the
connection.
Press type fittings with pressed sleeve:
• are self-sealing,
• can be concealed in walls and also in floors, provided O-Rings have not been damaged during the assembly,
• are made using a jaw adequate to a given pipe diameter,
• have a diameter range of ∅16-63 mm,
• should be made using tools delivered by KAN-therm (for diameters 16, 20, 32, 40 mm it is permissible to use "U"
standard compatible jaws, for diameter ∅26 "C" standard compatible, and for ∅50, 63 mm "TH" standard compatible according
to REMS catalog),
• should be made at temperatures higher than 0°C.
WARNING:
In the pipe fitting design the "loose steel sleeve" technique has been applied - the steel sleeve is slid along with the pipe. In the final
phase, such a design forces sliding the steel sleeve up to the body flange after the pipe has been stabilized in relation to the pipe
fitting (assembly correctness control). The "loose steel sleeve" technique allows to maintain full control over O-Ring seals during
assembly, and it enables to clean easily the fitting body in the case it gets dirty on a construction site.
