Description
Press copper plumbing fittings in cramped wall cavities with an ultra-lightweight professional press tool. The Milwaukee M12 FORCE LOGIC Press tool kit with jaws presses copper tubing on commercial plumbing rough-ins and maintenance repairs. This compact tool runs water supply lines through equipment maintenance sheds and shop washrooms. It cannot press steel gas pipe fittings.
A lightweight inline design pairs with a high-efficiency motor and hydraulic ram that delivers 5400 pounds of crimping force. The balanced tool body weighs under five pounds, fitting into narrow four-inch wall cavities without operator hand fatigue. Built-in auto-cycle features ensure full press completion before internal hydraulic pressure drops, while the included jaws press standard copper ProPress fittings rapidly.
Compact Copper Press Hardware Specifications
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.
- 5400 pounds of hydraulic ram force ensures watertight seals on copper press fittings
- Includes three press jaws accommodating 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1-inch copper pipe fittings
- Lightweight inline profile weighs under five pounds for comfortable overhead operation
- Auto-cycle feature ensures full press completion before internal hydraulic pressure drops
- Integrated LED work light illuminates dark plumbing trenches and ceiling cavities

- M12 RedLithium battery platform powers over one hundred press cycles per charge
Hydraulic Bench Cycle Speed Telemetry
Hydrostatic dyno testing records a 5.0-second full press cycle on 1-inch copper fittings at room temperature. The hydraulic system delivers 5400 pounds of continuous linear ram thrust with zero pressure drop off. Sound pressure levels measure 72 dBA at three feet during ram extension. The internal hydraulic pressure relief valve opens consistently at 5420 pounds, ensuring uniform fitting compression without over-crimping copper walls.
Plumbing Installation Setup Negative Filter
Deburr copper pipe ends, seat the ProPress fitting, align the jaw contour over the fitting bead, and hold the trigger until the tool automatically releases. Do not use this tool on steel gas pipe or unapproved fitting profiles.
- Press jaw pivot pins require light machine oil lubrication every fifty cycles
- Jaw crimp cavities demand cleaning to remove copper dust after every work shift
- Battery receiver contacts require visual checks for dirt before inserting battery packs
