Description
RIDGID Press Tool Attachments for ProPress
®
Systems,
when used with the appropriate RIDGID Press Tool, are
designed to mechanically press ProPress fittings onto
tubing to create a watertight and permanent seal. When the
switch on the press tool is depressed, a motor powers a
hydraulic pump which forces fluid into the press tool cylin-
der. This moves the tool rollers forward into contact with the
attachment and applies thousands of pounds of force to the
specially designed fitting.

The entire pressing cycles takes between 4 and 8 seconds
starting from when the switch is pressed. Once the press-
ing tool starts to deform the fitting, the tool will automati-
cally continue the press until complete.
There are RIDGID Press Tool attachments for the fol-
lowing ProPress Systems:
