What happens here

After ensuring the press tool's jaws are properly aligned and clamped onto the fitting, activate the tool's trigger. The hydraulic mechanism will engage, progressively compressing the fitting's sleeve around the PEX pipe. Continue to hold the trigger until the tool completes its full crimping cycle and automatically releases or indicates completion. This action creates a permanent, watertight seal without the need for heat or solder.

Goal: Once the tool is correctly positioned, activate it to create the secure, watertight press connection.
