Check the connection and operating fit

Choose this tool for seating connectors at tube ends. When the job starts with making an opening in a supply-line wall, use a compatible hole punch for that step.

When to choose it

The jaws support a small connector while you press it into an open feeder end. That makes it useful when preparing several lengths with barbed tees or straight joiners on a work surface.
