Description And Specifications Description; Specifications - RIDGID ProPress Series Operator's Manual

• Keep your fingers and hands away from jaws,
press rings and ring actuator during pressing
cycle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed, fractured
or amputated if they become caught between the
jaws, press rings or ring actuator or between these
components and any other object.
• Never attempt to repair a damaged jaw set actua-
tor, or press ring. A jaw, actuator or press ring that
has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any
manner can shatter during pressing resulting in serious
injury. Discard the entire damaged jaw set. Replace
with a new jaw set. Never replace individual compo-
nents except for damaged jaw return springs. Please
call Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service Depart-
ment for availability.
• Read and understand this manual, the tool opera-
tor's manual, the fitting manufacturer's installation
instructions and the instructions for any other
equipment used with this tool before operating.
Failure to follow all instructions may result in property
damage and/or serious injury.
Selection of appropriate materials and joining

methods is the responsibility of the system designer and/or
installer. Before any installation is attempted, careful eval-
uation of the specific service environment, including chem-
ical environment and service temperature, should be
completed.
Description and Specifications
Description
RIDGID Press Tool Attachments for ProPress
when used with the appropriate RIDGID Press Tool, are
designed to mechanically press ProPress fittings onto
tubing to create a watertight and permanent seal. When the
switch on the press tool is depressed, a motor powers a
hydraulic pump which forces fluid into the press tool cylin-
der. This moves the tool rollers forward into contact with the
attachment and applies thousands of pounds of force to the
specially designed fitting.
NOTE! ProPress ® is a registered trademark of Viega
GmbH & Co.
The entire pressing cycles takes between 4 and 8 seconds
starting from when the switch is pressed. Once the press-
ing tool starts to deform the fitting, the tool will automati-
cally continue the press until complete.
There are RIDGID Press Tool attachments for the fol-
lowing ProPress Systems:
• ProPress

• ProPress XL-C
