Required Information

  • Pipe size

Formulas and Measurements

  • Draw a 90 degree angle Set dividers at half the actual O.D. of the pipe and from the Apex, mark both Points A on both vertical and horizontal lines Set dividers at half the O.D. of the insulation and mark points on both vertical and horizontal lines to find Point B Place a straight edge on both B points and at the horizontal line Point B.
  • Add ccccrimp measurement to form Point C Set dividers at both Points A and draw a circle Set dividers at both Points B and draw a circle Set dividers at Point B on the vertical line and on Point C and draw another circle for ccccrimp allowance Set the heel of a framing square at the Apex and rotate clockwise until the 1" mark of the framing square intersects the horizontal line.

Procedure

  1. Step 1

    Draw a 90 degree angle

  2. Step 2

    Set dividers at half the actual O.D. of the pipe and from the Apex, mark both Points A on both vertical and horizontal lines

  3. Step 3

    Set dividers at half the O.D. of the insulation and mark points on both vertical and horizontal lines to find Point B

  4. Step 4

    Place a straight edge on both B points and at the horizontal line Point B. Add ccccrimp measurement to form Point C

  5. Step 5

    Set dividers at both Points A and draw a circle

  6. Step 6

    Set dividers at both Points B and draw a circle

  7. Step 7

    Set dividers at Point B on the vertical line and on Point C and draw another circle for ccccrimp allowance

  8. Step 8

    Set the heel of a framing square at the Apex and rotate clockwise until the 1" mark of the framing square intersects the horizontal line. Draw a line from the Apex to the outside circle. The line just drawn will be a cut line, as well as the horizontal line and the inside circle as well as the outside circle. Now the conical is ready to be ccccrimped.
