Product Information

Just remember to use the appropriate-sized tool, crimp ring, and fitting for your specific application, and you'll be off to a great start! They are used to join electrical connectors and cables within car engines. Usually, they feature plier designs which are standard in most tools for working on non-insulated, pre-insulated, ignition, and battery terminals. The adjustment mechanism is an essential component of your crimping tool, as it allows you to fine-tune the amount of force applied to the jaw during the crimping process. With the tool properly aligned, it's time to apply pressure and crimp the connection. Squeeze thecrimping tool handlestogether firmly and evenly until the jaws are fully closed.

It’s also worth noting that most crimping tools are multifunctional and can be used to compress, bend, cut, strip, etc. Above all, they work with cables, wires, or pipes of different sizes or gauges. This ensures a consistent, secure crimp that meets the requirements of your specific plumbing project.Unlike hydraulic crimping tools, pneumatic crimping tools use compressed air pressure for crimping. Usually, they deliver significant force, making them ideal for heavy-duty crimping tasks. The ICrimp AM-10 Pneumatic Crimper Plier Machine Tool is a perfect example. What Types of Crimping Tools are there based on Application? 1. Bootlace crimping tools Ensure that you choose a crimp tool that's compatible with the material of the pipes in your project. For instance, if you're working with PEX pipes, look for a PEX crimp tool. Bootlace crimping tools are designed to crimp bootlace ferrules and handle wires of different sizes. They’re often used to prevent the splitting of wires at the screw terminals. 2. Mini crimping tools Using a plumbing crimping tool can greatly improve your efficiency and success in plumbing projects. Remember, these tools are versatile and can be used on a variety of piping materials such as copper, PEX, and PVC.

Next,slide the crimp ringonto the pipe, ensuring it's 1/8 to 1/4 inch from the end of the pipe. Then,insert the fittinginto the pipe until it is fully seated. Simply slide the gauge over the crimped ring or sleeve, and if it moves smoothly over the connection, the crimp has been done correctly. If the gauge doesn't fit or feels tight, the crimp may need to be adjusted. There are five types of crimping tools available in the market based on how they operate. They include:Add the lug terminal onto the stripped end of the cable. During this process, ensure that all wires go into the lug terminal. If you’re into DIY projects related to electronics, jewelry, and plumbing, or you’re a professional in any of these fields, the term crimping may not be new. What exactly is crimping? It’s a process of joining pieces of materials (often metal plates, electrical wires, leather, copper pipes, etc.) together by deforming one or both pieces. You’ll need a unique tool to deform the material and create a secure and permanent connection. That is described as the crimping tool, and the deformed part is the crimp. Usually, crimping is an alternative to welding or soldering. Now that the pipe and fitting are in place, it's time to align the crimping tool. Open thecrimping tool jawsand position them around the crimp ring.
