How to Prepare and Maintain the UT 3 Compression Tool
This guide provides instructions for the initial setup of dies for 1/2" and 5/8" compression connectors and routine lubrication for the UT 3 tool, ensuring proper operation and longevity.
Estimated time: 10m
Tools needed:
Tolerance gauge
Supplies needed:
Good grade lubricating oil
- Review Safety Information
Before operating or servicing the UT 3 tool, read and understand all instructions and safety information provided in the manual. Be aware of proper usage and potential hazards to prevent injury or damage.
- Lubricate Pivot and Link Pin Areas
Occasionally apply a good grade of lubricating oil to the pivot and link pin areas of the tool. This maintenance step ensures smooth operation of the ratchet and pawl mechanism and extends the tool's lifespan.
- Install Dies for 1/2" Connectors
To prepare the tool for 1/2" compression connectors, ensure the upper die is inserted into the tool head with the '1/2"' marking readable and the '5/8"' marking upside down. Refer to Figure B in the manual for the correct orientation.
- Install Dies for 5/8" Connectors
To prepare the tool for 5/8" compression connectors, pull the upper die straight out of the tool head. Reverse the die and re-insert it so the '5/8"' marking is readable. Refer to Figure C in the manual for the correct orientation.
- Test Tool Compression (Optional)
To verify proper compression, place a tolerance gauge between the dies and close the tool. If the gauge is not held firmly in place, the tool is below tolerance and should be returned to the factory for repair.
