Description
Press copper plumbing fittings in ultra-compact wall spaces where standard full-size press tools cannot physically fit. The Ridgid RP 115 Mini Press tool battery kit presses small copper pipe lines across commercial cabinetry and maintenance shops. This ultra-lightweight tool runs water supply lines through tight equipment enclosures. It cannot press copper fittings larger than 3/4-inch diameter.
A micro-hydraulic power head generates 2700 pounds of pressing force in a chassis weighing under three and a half pounds. The compact inline barrel design fits between tightly spaced water heater connections and behind commercial vanity frames. A 210-degree swiveling barrel head rotates around plumbing pipes, while the single-handed trigger operation allows mechanics to hold copper pipes steady with their free hand.
Miniature Press Tool Hardware Specifications
Plumbing service technicians and equipment maintenance mechanics require ultra-compact press tools to repair leaking pipes inside finished cabinets. This micro tool presses copper fittings rapidly without open flame.
- Ultra-lightweight 3.4-pound tool chassis allows effortless one-handed overhead operation
- 2700 pounds of hydraulic pressing force seals 1/2-inch and 3/4-inch copper ProPress fittings
- 210-degree rotating barrel head swivels around tight plumbing obstacles in narrow walls
- Slim inline profile measures under fourteen inches in length for extreme confined access
- Five-second cycle time completes watertight copper joints on service repair calls
- Integrated LED work light illuminates dark cabinet bottoms and maintenance chases
- 12V advanced lithium battery platform powers up to 140 press cycles per charge
Micro-Hydraulic Bench Cycle Telemetry
Bench dyno testing records a 4.5-second complete press cycle on 3/4-inch copper ProPress fittings at 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The 12V 2.5 Ah battery delivers 145 full press cycles on a single charge. Sound pressure levels register at 70 dBA at three feet during pump operation. Hydraulic system pressure holds steady at 2720 pounds, ensuring uniform crimp deformation without denting thin copper tubes.
Plumbing Service Setup Usability Boundaries
Deburr copper pipe ends, seat the ProPress fitting, align the mini jaw contour over the fitting bead, and hold the trigger until the tool automatically releases. Do not use this tool on 1-inch or larger pipe, or on steel gas lines.
- Mini jaw pivot pins demand light machine oil lubrication every fifty cycles
- Jaw crimp pockets require wiping with clean shop towels after every work shift
- Battery receiver slots require compressed air cleaning every twenty operating hours
