The RIDGID 31048 Model RP 210-B Compact Press Tool is a fast and reliable way to join copper, stainless steel, PEX and multilayer fittings. This light and compact tool works great for professionals to connect 1⁄2" to 1 1⁄4" tubing.

The RP 210 Press Tool, when used with appropriate jaws (sold seperately), is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal. When the switch on the RP 210 is depressed, an internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces fluid into the cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram forward and applying thousands of pounds of pressing force onto specially designed fittings. Attachments are also available for other uses. The entire cycle duration is approximately five seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the trigger switch is released. The LED displays on the back of the tool indicate problems such as improper temperature, open attachment mounting pin or maintenance required.
