As such, the crimping assembly 24 allows users to address such inconsistencies in pressure by determining the amount of pressure to be exerted by the biasing members 114 , 116 .
  • a user first establishes a minimum thickness of the flange 20 to ensure retention of the crimping assembly 24 therealong.
  • the user adjusts the distance between the first 64 and second 74 rollers, also known as the pitch, so that the crimping assembly 24 at a start position will fit tightly around the flange 20 .

  • the coupling mechanism 78 allows the crimping assembly 24 to adjust to variation in the thickness of the flange 20 without stopping operation of the crimping assembly 24 . If the thickness of the flange 20 increases at one or more points along its length, the second roller 74 is able to move away from the first roller 64 to accommodate any variation in width. This functionality is provided by the coupling mechanism 78 which allows the slide shaft 72 to float, that is, to move towards and away from the drive shaft 60 during operation of the crimping assembly 24 .
  • the biasing members 114 , 116 bias the second roller 74 towards the first roller 64 to ensure a tight fit between the crimping assembly 24 and the cover part 22 .

  • the housing 26 of the crimping assembly 24 is able to swivel relative to the handle 50 to provide additional flexibility during operation of the crimping assembly 24 .
  • the crimping assembly 24 includes a swivel coupling 122 including a ball bearing disposed between the drive shaft 60 and the housing 26 .
