Inspecting the Crimped
Connection
1. Visually inspect crimped connection for:
• Tube not fully inserted.
• Incorrect placement, distortion or de-
formation of crimped sleeve/ring.
• Any other issues per fitting manufac-
turer.
If any issues are found, remove fitting
and install a new connection.
2. Check crimp size as required for system
by fitting manufacturer:
• ASTM F1807 crimped connections are
checked with a GO/NO GO gauge. Us -
ing correct gauge, hold gauge perpen-
dicular to axis of tube. A crimp is good if
GO gauge fits over ring, and NO GO
gauge does not.
