Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9000097A1] A pipe crimping apparatus comprises holding means to externally engage and hold a joint formed by locating one end of a pipe connector onto a pipe end, the holding means having a crimping tool (18, 106, 124) movable relative to the swaged end to cause the swaged end to be deformed and crimped onto the pipe end. In a preferred embodiment, the holding means (12, 14) is elongate and at one end thereof has a gripping zone (16) to engage behind the inner side of a swaged end of the pipe connector, and at the other end thereof the crimping tool (18) is movable longitudinally and internally of the holding means. Means (20) are provided to cause axial movement of the tool (18) towards the gripping zone (16) so to engage the outer side of the swaged end and crimp it to the pipe end.
