HOW LiNX | AS FITTINGS WORK
The Pipe to be connected slides snugly into the LiNX | AS fitting body
The outer press-rings are driven axially over the fitting body by the proprietary LiNX | AS Press-Tool
Inside the fitting body, the machined bite rings constrict around the pipe forming a gas-tight seal
The pipe is held fast in an all-metal permanent joint
LiNX | AS fittings form a joint that is stronger than the pipe
Installation
Preparation
- Make a Square Cut at the end of the pipe (±5°)
- Clean & Prep the Pipe outer surface for a 360° seal
