    Ratcheting Cinch Tool


    Sizes:  1/2" (12.7 mm) 3/4" (19.1 mm) 1" (25.4 mm)
    Watts Ratcheting Cinch Tool is designed for use with Watts Heating PEX tubing and CinchClamp connections.

    Release Lever Holster Cinch Tool

    Specifications
    Connections shall use Watts cinch fittings and Heating PEX cross-linked polyethylene pipe.

    Installation Parameters
    All CinchClamps must be installed using a Watts Heating Cinch Tool and in accordance with all installation guidelines. Make sure the tubing has a clean, square cut end. Slide the CinchClamp over the tubing.  Insert fitting and position CinchClamp, allowing for approximately 1/8" (3.2 mm) clearance between the base of the clamp and fitting.  Position the open jaws of the Cinch Tool over the tabs of the CinchClamp and squeeze. Allow the tool to ratchet to the next position.  Repeat until ratchet stops (approximately seven times) and the white indicator is completely visible in the view hole.  To release the Cinch Tool rotate the Release lever on the side. It is very important to complete the cinch process before releasing the tool. If connections are made in temperatures below 30F (1.1C), caution must be taken to pause between ratchets, allowing the Heating PEX to form a proper seal against the barb. Do not use the Cinch Tool to remove CinchClamps. This will cause damage to the tool, resulting in improper connections.

    CAUTION

    This Engineering Sheet is not intended to provide full installation instructions and safety information. In order to avoid property damage or injury, please refer to the complete installation manual and product safety information provided with the product.
    Watts product specifications in U.S. customary units and metric are approximate and are provided for reference only. For precise measurements, please contact Watts Technical Service. Watts reserves the right to change or modify product design, construction, specifications, or materials without prior notice and without incurring any obligation to make such changes and modifications on Watts products previously or subsequently sold.

    Calibration
    Do not use the Cinch Tool if it has been damaged, as this may result in an improper cinch.
    After repeated use of the Cinch Tool, it may require calibration. A calibration gauge is provided in the tool pouch. Follow these steps when calibrating a Watts Ratcheting Cinch Tool. 1.  Ratchet the Cinch Tool to the closed position and hold. Use the calibration tool to gauge the jaw gap. Ideally, the jaw gap should be between 1.5 mm and 1.7 mm. If the 1.7 mm side of the gauge slides into the gap, then the jaw space is too large. If the 1.5 mm side of the gauge can not slide into the gap, then the jaw space is too narrow. 2.  To adjust the jaw gap, squeeze the handles three times (from fully open) to make the adjustment screw accessible. Locate the adjustment screw (see picture). Do not adjust the plate retention screw. Use a standard Allen key (included) to raise or lower the screw. Raising the screw (counter-clockwise turn) will cause the jaw gap to increase. Lowering the screw (clockwise turn) will decrease the jaw gap.

    Do NOT Adjust Adjustment Screw
