The RIDGID RP 241 (57388) Inline Compact Press Tool Only (No Battery or Jaws), is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal, such as for plumbing and heating applications. 25% smaller and 10% lighter than its predecessor, its lightweight, low profile design is ergonomically designed to help you easily work overhead and in tight spaces.

When the run switch on the press tool is depressed, an internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump, which sends fluid into the cylinder of the tool, moving the ram forward and applying force to the attachment, pressing the fitting (jaws sold separately). The press cycle takes approximately 5 seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the run switch is released.

Status lights indicate key runtime information, such as improper temperature, low battery, or maintenance required. A work light turns on when the run switch is depressed to illuminate the work area. The head can be rotated for better access in tight spaces.

The RP 241 Battery Press Tool includes Bluetooth wireless technology to allow connection to smart phones and tablets. It is compatible the RIDGID Link app, which allows users to view real-time data on a smart device.
