The ProPress® XL-C System with Smart Connect™ Feature is a safe, reliable, and economical copper pipe installation method that uses modern cold press connection technology. This system is applicable for hard tubing (K, L and M) from 1/2” thru 2”, and for soft tubing from 1/2” thru 1-1/4” diameters. ProPress® fittings incorporate a “Smart Connect Feature” to provide the installer a quick and easy way to identify any fitting which has not bee pressed prior to putting the system into operation. Approved for above ground, and under ground applications, providing local jurisdictional codes allow. Approved by NSF, UL, ICC, UPC, PHCC, Florida Building Code and NFPA. Typical applications: Potable water, hydronic heating, chilled water, and compressed air (200 psi max.), non-medical gases (140 psi max.), low pressure steam (15 psi max.) and vacuum (29” merc max.).
PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Cut copper tubing at right angles using displacement type cutter or fine-toothed steel saw.
2. Keep end of tubing a minimum of 4” away from the contact area of the vise to prevent possible damage to the tubing in the press area. 3. Remove burr from inside and outside of tubing to prevent cutting sealing element.
4. Mark proper insertion depth as indicated by the ProPress XL-C insertion depth chart. Improper insertion depth may result in an improper seal. 5. Check seal and grip ring for correct fit.
6. Illustration demonstrates proper fit of grip ring, separation ring and sealing element. Use only ProPress Shiny Black EPDM sealing elements. 7. While turning slightly, slide press fitting onto tubing to the marked depth. Do not use oils or lubricants. 8. ProPress XL-C fitting connections must be performed with ProPress XL-C Rings and V2 ACTUATOR. Use of ProPress XL Rings and/or Actuator (for Bronze fittings) will result in an improper connection. See Ridgid Operator’s Manual for proper tool instructions. 9. Open XL-C Ring and place at right angles on the fitting. XL-C Ring must be engaged on the fitting bead. Check insertion depth. 10. With V2 ACTUATOR inserted into the tool, open the V2 ACTUATOR as shown and connect V2 ACTUATOR to the XL-C Ring. 11. Place V2 ACTUATOR onto XL-C Ring and start pressing process. Hold the trigger until the Actuator has engaged the XL-C Ring. Keep extremities and foreign objects away from XL-C Ring and V2 ACTUATOR during pressing operation to prevent injury or incomplete press. 12. Release V2 ACTUATOR from XL-C Ring and then remove the XL-C Ring from the fitting on completion of press. Remove elastic control ring from fitting indicating press has been performed.
