Description
The RIDGID RP 251 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, heating, air conditioning, and
refrigeration applications.
When the trigger/run switch on the press
tool is depressed, 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 4 seconds. Once the cycle
begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically
continue until completion, even if the trigger/
run switch is released.
The tool includes a second operating mode
("Control Mode") that can be turned on using
the RIDGID Link App. Control Mode allows
the fitting to be engaged prior to pressing to
allow confirmation of proper alignment of the
attachment, fitting and tube.
The Tool Status Lights indicate things such
as tool status, battery status, maintenance
required, or improper temperature. A work
light turns on when the trigger/run switch is
depressed to power up the tool and helps
illuminate the work area. The tool switches
OFF after 120 seconds of inactivity.
The head can be rotated 360° for better
access in tight spaces. The tool is supplied
with fabric loops that can be used with appro-
priate attachments such as shoulder straps
or tie off lines.
The press tool include wireless technology to
allow connection to smart phones and tablets.
See "RIDGID Link App Connection (Wireless
Communication)" section for details.
