*66.7mm (67mm) Sling (S330 Snap on sling)
Novopress offers alternative slings for use on different press systems. As such Pegler Yorkshire
reinforces the following instruction.
Where 66.7mm slings are required for crimping XPress fittings, installers must only use the
following XPress/Novopress slings and adaptors:

Novopress Reference Sling Marking Novopress Adaptor

36516-50 "Woeste" 67mm ZB302 42-66.7mm
45184-50 "XPress" 66.7mm ZB323 66.7-108mm

Under no circumstances should any other brand of sling be used with our 66.7mm fittings as
these will lead to an incorrect crimp resulting in an immediate joint failure and invalidate the
Pegler Yorkshire warranty.
XPress 66.7mm fittings that have inadvertently been crimped with the wrong brand of sling
cannot be successfully re-crimped with the XPress 66.7 sling and will unfortunately have to be cut
out and replaced with a new fitting using the correct sling.

Note: Pegler Yorkshire 66.7mm will be referred to as 66.7mm and/or 67mm.

POWER SUPPLY
It is essential when preparing to undertake an installation using XPress fittings and tools that a
suitable constant power source is available. If the supply of power is not constant it may affect
the performance of the joint.
Checking the power source is particularly important prior to joining with the ECO202 and
ECO301 tool as it includes safety software, which detects the amount of power available to the
machine. If there is not enough for the tool to initiate the pressing cycle and complete a sound
joint the tool will not commence the pressing operation. This feature is particularly useful when
installing large size press fittings, as the pressure required to press these fittings is significantly
greater than for smaller fittings, hence the power supply to the tool must be guaranteed.
It is therefore recommended that when using a portable transformer to provide power to the
press tool, the transformer should be a minimum of 3KVA rated in order that a continuous
uninterrupted power supply is always available.
When a semi-permanent source of power such as a generator is being used it is essential the
plant is well maintained. The maximum cable size from generator to outlet and the minimum
length of cable between the power outlet and the tool should be used.
