1. EQUIPMENT CHECK

The multilayer pipe system (Gerpex, Gerpex RA,
Alpert) and the Gerpex press joints grants a high reli-
ability and long lasting of both thermo and sanitary
plants.
Correct operation of the system requires that instal-
lation is carried out according to a small number of
essential instructions.
The purpose of this manual is to describe the correct
procedure and to provide the technical information
necessary to ensure that installation is carried out
correctly.
1 Checking the tools required
1.1 Pressing machine and jaws
• Strictly follow what's reported on the user manual
of the pressing machine.
• For a correct pressing, the jaws shall not present
damages in the pressing zone.
• Make sure the dimension of the jaw matches the
diameter of the joint intended to be pressed.
Attention!
If the diameter of the pressing jaw is lower than the
one of the joint to be pressed, the pressing jaw will
be damaged and the coupling may not be completely
tight.
1.2 Calibration/Countersinking
• Ensure that the calibration tool is not mis-shap-
ened or dented, since this would result in damage
the internal surface of the hose and the O-ring,
thus reducing the tightness of the coupling.

not rotate with respect to the grip.
If necessary, tighten the locknut.
