Calibration
PEX
Apollo PEX tools are pre-calibrated for up to 10,000 uses. After repeated use of this tool, it
may require calibration. A calibration tool is provided with the fastening tool.
1. Ratchet the PinchTool to the
closed position until the LED
light comes on.
3. To adjust the jaw gap, locate the
hex screw hole inside the tool. (No
need to take apart the tool to
access the calibration hole.)
Insert the enclosed Allen wrench
into the hole. Turning the wrench
counter-clockwise will cause the
gap to increase. Turning the
wrench clockwise will cause the
jaw gap to decrease.
2. Use the Calibration Tool to gauge
the jaw gap. The jaw gap should
be between 1.2 mm and 1.4 mm.
If the 1.4 mm side of the gauge
slides into the gap, then the jaw
space is too large. If the 1.2 mm
side of the gauge cannot slide
into the gap, then the jaw space
is too narrow.
