Description

The RIDGID ® RP 240 and RP 241 Press Tools,
when used with appropriate attachments, are
designed to mechanically press fittings onto
tubing to create a water-tight and permanent
seal, such as for plumbing and heating applica-
tions. Attachments are also available for other
uses.
When the run switch on the press tool is de-
pressed, 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. The press cycle takes approximately
5 seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a
fitting, it will automatically continue until comple-
tion, even if the run switch is released.

The Tool Status Lights indicate things such
as improper temperature, low battery, or main-
tenance 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 tools are supplied with a fabric loop that
can be used with appropriate attachments
such as shoulder straps or tie off lines.
The press tools include Bluetooth
technology to allow connection to smart
phones and tablets. See"Bluetooth Functions
(Wireless Data Transfer)"section for details.
