The Zurn Medium Ratcheting 

QickClamp crimp tool is factory set to 

provide proper crimps. This should be 

checked before use by making a test 

crimp connection and checking it with 

the QickClamp Go Gauge. As long as 

the finished crimp connection gauges 

properly, there is no need to adjust  

the tool. 
We recommend checking finished 

crimp connections frequently with 

the Zurn QickClamp Go Gauge.

Using the QickClamp  

Go Gauge

Check a completed connection with 

the appropriate sized section of the 

QickClamp Go Gauge. The gauge 

should be applied to the half of the 

QickClamp that is farthest away from 

the fitting as shown in the ‘Gauging 

Area’ illustration. If the QickClamp 

does not go into the Go Gauge, the 

fitting should be cut out, the tool 

adjusted, and the fitting replaced. For 

tool adjustment, see the instructions 

supplied with the tool.

Adjusting the  

Medium Ratcheting 

QickClamp Tool

1.  Close the jaws about half-way with 

3 or 4 squeezes of the handles 

(Figure 1).

2.  Holding the tool with the jaws 

pointed toward you and the moving 

handle on top (Figure 2), find the 

adjusting screw on the ratchet arm. 

It is the lower screw that is visible 

through a small hole.

3.  Use the Allen wrench supplied with 

the tool to raise or lower the screw.

4.  Raising the screw by turning 

counter-clockwise will cause the 

jaw gap to increase at the point 

the LED light comes on. It will  

be rare that this adjustment will  

be required.

5.  Lowering the screw by turning 

clockwise will cause the jaw gap to 

decrease at the point the LED light 

comes on. Do not turn the screw 

more than ¼ turn at a time before 

making a test crimp and checking 

with the QickClamp Go Gauge.  

Do not adjust more than required  

to give finished clamps that  

gauge properly.
