3.2. Production of nipples and double nipples
For clamping short pieces of pipes and for the production of nipples and double

clamping pipe pieces (with or without thread) with the REMS Nippelspanner
the head of the Nippelspanner is expanded by turning the spindle (21) with a
tool (e.g. screwdriver). This must only be done when a pipe is put on (Fig. 5).
When using the REMS Nippelspanner it must be observed that no shorter
nipples are threaded than specified in the standards.
