Installation
All CinchClamps must be installed using a Watts 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" (3.1mm) clearance between clamp and fitting.  Position the open jaws of the Cinch Tool over the tabs of the CinchClamp and squeeze. Tool will release when cinch is complete. If connections are made in temperatures below 30F (-1.1C), caution must be taken to cinch slowly, allowing the tubing 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.

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. For convenience, a calibration gauge is provided in the tool pouch. Follow these steps when calibrating a Watts manual Cinch Tool. 1. I nsert the calibration gauge into the tool as shown. Ratchet the Cinch Tool to the closed position and hold. Use the calibration gauge to determine the jaw gap. Ideally, the jaw gap should be between 0.8mm and 1.2mm. If the 1.2 mm side of the gauge slides into the gap, then the jaw space is too large. If the 0.8 mm side of the gauge can not slide into the gap, then the jaw space is too narrow. 2.  To adjust the jaw gap, turn the Cinch Tool on its side and locate the Phillips screw positioned on the ratchet arm. Use a standard Phillips screwdriver to loosen the screw and to adjust the ratchet arm position. Turning the arm left or right will change the jaw gap. Tighten screw when desired jaw gap is reached.
