INSTALLATION

APOLLOPRESS

ball valves are bi-directional and are a quick, convenient way to connect copper pipe. They are compatible

with all standard press tools and jaws. They may be installed in vertical or horizontal pipe runs without regard to flow direction

and without regard to stem orientation. All APOLLOPRESS

temperatures between 0°F to 250°F

Note: Special considerations must be taken with respect to pipe line expansions and contractions and the media expansions

and contractions within the piping system. Adequate clearance for the press tools must also be considered when planning an

installation.

Preparing the Tube

Cut the desired length of tubing using a tubing cutter squarely. De-burr the inside and outside diameter of the tube with a

rounded file or de-burring tool. Clean the tube of all dirt, oil, grease or foreign matter.

Inserting the Tube

Make sure that the O-ring seals are in place and free of dirt, oil, grease or other foreign matter. Insert the tube into the valve

using a twisting motion. Make sure that the tube is fully inserted until it stops.

Warning: Do no lubricate the seal in the valve with petroleum based

lubricants as this will cause damage to the O-rings.

Pressing the Valve

1. Place open jaws around valve connection. Make sure the contour

of the jaw set is properly aligned with the seal bead of the valve

connection

2. Actuate press tool. The pressing cycle takes 4-8 seconds,

depending on the press tool. Once a press cycle begins, and the

rollers contact the jaw arms, the tool will lock-on and automatically

complete the press cycle.

3. Press jaw arms to pen jaw set. If tool malfunctions, please refer to

specific tool operator's manual.

4. Remove the press tool and jaw connection.

Caution: Jaw set must be square to the tube and properly aligned with the

contour of the valve. Inspect the press tool to verify it is in good working

condition. Inspect the ring/jaw sets and verify that they are clean and do

not display excessive wear. For battery operated units verify that the

battery has an adequate charge. Most quality press tools require re-

calibration after 32,000 cycles. See press tool manufacture's operating

instructions.

Warning: To avoid pinch point injury, keep hands and fingers away from

jaws. Avoid sharp edges the may have formed on the valves during the

pressing operation.

Inspecting the Connection

1. Check the valve and confirm the presence of the press mark.

2. Inspect the press connection for the following: Misaligned tubes,

tubes not fully inserted, check depth marks, loose connection,

incorrect jaw alignment with the fitting.

3. If one or more of these problems are found, then a new section of

tubing and a new valve will have to be prepared, inserted and

pressed.

4. Test the system for leaks in accordance with normal practice and

local codes.
