First before anybody looks at the attached drawing I know I can't draw. So there.



Now here's my question. It seems like for the best connection you would sqeeze each side of the Nico fitting at a time. (see fig B) And I know I've seen ones that work like that. 



But the ones supplied by Zenith seem to want to fit in the tool seem to only be large enought to do it the way depicted in Fig. A.



So, DO I have the wrong tool and need one that wil let me do it as in Fig. B or is Fig. A correct.



It seems that the system doesn't want to work with a PDF file properly. You must download the file to view it.

		The drawing was good enough, Gig. It should be crimped

as in figure "A" of your drawing. If the 'double barrel ferrule' is long

enough, you should crimp it three times. Do the middle first after

pushing the ferrule as close to the loop as possible. Then do the

section nearest the loop, and, finally, crimp the outermost section of

the ferrule. Then you will have a good solid crimp that will hold nearly

forever.

					God Bless!!

Thanks, that is really what I thought but seeing as how that is such a critical connection and there is virtually zero guidence in the construction manual (other than the info on the 3 crimp order on the plans) I was having a real hard time pulling the trigger.

Looks like I have something to do this weekend.
