Description

The RIDGID ® RP 240 Press Tool, when used
with appropriate attachments, is designed to
mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create
a water-tight and permanent seal, such as for
plumbing and heating applications. Attach -
ments 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 tool is 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
