The Relink Triclamp components and the hose are assembled, and inserted into the Press by encapsulating the groove in the Compression Sleeve between the two Slide Plates as shown.

The Press Triclamp Adaptor is then pressed down, to engage the Triclamp Fitting Insert and commence compression.

When the Compression Sleeve touches the shoulder on the Fitting, the assembly is completed. The Adaptor is reversed, freeing the assembled fitting for removal by sliding out of the Slide Plates.

To recover the Fitting, the hose is cut off at the back of the Fitting, and the Triclamp Fitting Spigot is pressed out, using the Press and a Relink Extraction Tool. The Sleeve and Spigot are then available for re-use.
