ZURN QickClamp QCRTQCRM User manual

1. Cutting Zurn PEX®Tubing
Using a blade type cutter, cut
tubing to desired length.
2. Install QickClamp
Push tubing into the QickClamp
until the tubing stops and is visible
in the sight hole. Be sure that the
tab inside the QickClamp stays on
the outside of the tubing.
3. Install Fitting
Push tting into the tubing
until the tting shoulder touches
the QickClamp.
4. Crimp QickClamp
Open the QCRTQCRM tool by
turning the Release Knob counter-
clockwise (Figure 1). Place the jaws
completely over the QickClamp
pinch ear. With the tool at a 90°
angle to the tube (Figure 2), close
the tool by squeezing the handles
together repeatedly until the LED
light comes on. This may take 6-8
squeezes (Figure 3).
Important! Be sure the tool
jaws cover the entire ear of the
QickClamp before crimping;
failure to do so will result in an
improper crimp and may void
the warranty.
5. It is very important to complete the
crimping process before releasing
the tool. Open the QCRTQCRM
tool by turning the Release Knob
counter-clockwise. Visually verify
that a secure connection has
been made. If the entire ear did
not crimp, DO NOT recrimp. The
QickClamp must be cut out
and replaced.

The Zurn Medium Ratcheting
QickClamp crimp tool is factory set to
provide proper crimps. This should be
checked before use by making a test
crimp connection and checking it with
the QickClamp Go Gauge. As long as
the nished crimp connection gauges
properly, there is no need to adjust
the tool.
We recommend checking nished
crimp connections frequently with
the Zurn QickClamp Go Gauge.
Using the QickClamp
Go Gauge
Check a completed connection with
the appropriate sized section of the
QickClamp Go Gauge. The gauge
should be applied to the half of the
QickClamp that is farthest away from
the tting as shown in the ‘Gauging
Area’ illustration. If the QickClamp
does not go into the Go Gauge, the
tting should be cut out, the tool
adjusted, and the tting replaced. For
tool adjustment, see the instructions
supplied with the tool.
Adjusting the
Medium Ratcheting
QickClamp Tool
1. Close the jaws about half-way with
3 or 4 squeezes of the handles
(Figure 1).
2. Holding the tool with the jaws
pointed toward you and the moving
handle on top (Figure 2), nd the
adjusting screw on the ratchet arm.
It is the lower screw that is visible
through a small hole.
3. Use the Allen wrench supplied with
the tool to raise or lower the screw.
4. Raising the screw by turning
counter-clockwise will cause the
jaw gap to increase at the point
the LED light comes on. It will
be rare that this adjustment will
be required.
5. Lowering the screw by turning
clockwise will cause the jaw gap to
decrease at the point the LED light
comes on. Do not turn the screw
more than ¼ turn at a time before
making a test crimp and checking
with the QickClamp Go Gauge.
Do not adjust more than required
to give nished clamps that
gauge properly.
