Description
Press copper plumbing fittings and water lines without open flame torches or hot work burn permits. The Bosch 18V Press Tool Kit with 3 jaws creates permanent mechanical joints on commercial copper piping runs. This cordless inline press tool secures water lines across equipment maintenance shops and commercial washrooms. It cannot press black iron gas pipe fittings.
A high-output brushless motor drives an internal hydraulic pump to generate 24 kilonewtons of pressing force through forged steel press jaws. The slim inline tool balance allows single-handed operation inside narrow ceiling chases and crawlspaces. A 360-degree rotating barrel swivels the jaw head to clear tight framing obstacles, while micro-sensor electronics verify full hydraulic pressure delivery on every joint.
Inline Cordless Press Tool Hardware Specs
Plumbing specialists and facility maintenance teams require compact cordless press tools to install leak-proof copper pipe systems quickly. This tool produces permanent seals on commercial copper fittings.
- Brushless motor delivers 24 kilonewtons of hydraulic press force across copper fittings
- 360-degree rotating head collar positions press jaws around tight plumbing obstacles
- Inline pistol balance enables one-handed tool operation inside deep stud chases
- Three included press jaws accommodate 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch copper pipe fittings
- Automatic cycle monitoring guarantees full press completion before jaw retracts
- Integrated LED work light illuminates dark plumbing trenches and ceiling cavities
- CORE18V battery platform powers hundreds of mechanical pipe presses per charge
Bench Hydraulic Dyno Cycle Telemetry
Bench testing on 1-inch copper press fittings records a 4.2-second cycle speed with 5400 pounds of linear hydraulic force. The CORE18V 4.0 Ah battery delivers over 250 completed presses on one charge cycle. Sound meter testing records 74 dBA at three feet during hydraulic cycling. Hydraulic manifold temperature rise stabilizes at 26 degrees Fahrenheit above ambient air after forty continuous presses.
Copper Pressing Operation Boundaries Target Filter
Cut copper pipe square, deburr inner and outer edges, seat the press fitting, align the jaw contour over the fitting bead, and hold the trigger. The tool retracts automatically after full crimping. Do not press unseated fittings or misaligned copper tubes.
- Jaw mechanical pivot pins demand light machine oil application every fifty cycles
- Jaw crimping contours require visual inspection for copper shavings before each shift
- Tool ventilation slots require cleaning with dry shop air every twenty operating hours
