RT-100 Mini Electric Soldering Gun
RT-100 MINI ELECTRIC SOLDERING GUN
Thank-you for purchasing the RIDGID RT-100 Mini Electric Soldering Gun. It is designed to safely heat copper tube and
fittings to solder joints. The RT-100 uses resistance heating to melt the solder without the danger of using an open
flame. It is a safer, faster method of soldering copper tube.
The RT-100 can efficiently and quickly solder joints in cop-
" diameter while using a standard 120V,
per tube up to 1 1 /
2
15A circuit. The soldering gun will heat the copper to
temperatures in excess of 750°F which allows it to
melt all solders used in plumbing applications - from
the 50/50 solders to the 95/5 lead-free types.
The RT-100 has cable lengths of 72" which lead to
the handles. The unit has a wireform welded to the
case that acts as a cord wrap for the cables and power
cord and as a handle for portability. The RT-100
is similar to Ridge Tool's RT-175 Electric
Soldering Gun but in a smaller, more
compact design. The unit is designed
with the service plumber in mind for the
repair and renovation projects that require
soldering in tight locations and minimizing destruction
of existing structures.
This instruction sheet along with the attached Operator's Manual for the RT-175 outline all the safety and operational
features for the RT-100 Mini Electric Soldering Gun. Listed below are the specifications and operating instructions for
the RT-100.
