Only use RIDGID Press Tools and RIDGID
press tool attachments (jaw sets, rings, actuators, etc.)
when specified by the fitting manufacturer for use with their
system. Use of incorrect press tools and/or attachments for
a system can cause system leaks, damage the press
tool or attachment, void warranties or cause severe per-
sonal injury.
Contact the fitting manufacturer for specific
information on their system, including compatible tubing,
materials, installation instructions, minimum distance be -
tween fittings, seal material, inspection, testing, etc. Incor -
rect installation can cause system leaks and extensive
property damage.
Contact Ridge Tool Technical Service Department at
[phone] or [e-mail] for a list
of press fitting system and valve manufacturers that spec-
ify RIDGID pressing tools and attachments for their sys-
tems.

The ProPress rings must be used perpendicular to the fit-
ting and tube being pressed but the ball pocket/tip feature
on the rings and actuators allows the actuator and press
tool to swivel up to 90 degrees in each direction. This
allows the rings and actuators to be used in some appli-
cations where the jaw sets and pressing tool will not fit.
The ProPress rings are marked to show the correct actu-
ator for use with that ring.
