- Choose the correct press jaw and follow your tool manufacturer’s instructions for seating and crimping the fitting.
- Align the elbow to maintain proper slope and avoid stress on the pipe run after pressing.
- Perform a pressure test after installation to verify a tight seal, especially for underground or outdoor sections.
