XPRESS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Select the correct size of
tube and fitting for the job.
Ensure that both are clean,

in good condition and
free from damage and
imperfections.

1. CHECK THE FITTING
Keep all fittings in their bag prior to
installation to ensure the lubrication
does not dry out. Ensure the O ring
is seated correctly within the fitting
socket.
2. CUT THE TUBE SQUARE:
It is essential to cut the tube square using a rotary tube cutter. Pegler Yorkshire
recommends using a Rems Cento with the correct cutter wheel for the specific material
being cut.

NOTE: The tube must always be cut completely. Never partially cut and
then broken as this could cause corrosion. Do not use a hacksaw, oil cooled saws,
abrasive wheels or flame cutting.

ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF CUTTING TUBE INCLUDE:
Rotary tube cutter. Rems Cento.

NOTE: Use TC155 for cutting
carbon steel tube.
