Instructions

1. Choose the appropriate expanding collet or collet set to use with your pipe diameter. Depending on your pipe sizes, you may be using a steel collet or a steel and aluminum collet set.
   • Note: The #5 steel collet can be used alone or with the #1 & #4 collet sets. The #8 steel collet can be used alone or with the #2 & #3 collet sets. The #6 collet must be used with the #2 collet set.
2. Lubricate threads. Ensure threads remain lubricated or the tool may become damaged.
3. Brace or clamp your pipe and position the expender in the end, tightening up the expander tool to remain in place. Drive with a 28mm impact socket and impact wrench and continue impacting until the pipe clearly starts expanding.
