is there a shelf life for pro-press fittings prior to being installed? Curious if the seals in them lose integrity over time while exposed to normal ambient air, humidity etc. Granted I know they’re designed to last decades installed.
For best results, if they’ve been stored for a prolonged period-especially over five years-it’s worth inspecting the O-rings for any signs of hardening, cracks, or visible wear before installation.
The RP115 is a great service tool, but unfortunately is limited to the propress and pureflow jaws that are offered from Ridgid. It is classified as a "mini" press, where the "compact" or "standard" propresses have more options available.
I just want to be able to buy a press that can do black iron ½-2", and also line sets for residential Air conditioning. If it can do some water as well bonus 😂. Great video it deserves a thumbs up 👍
@@OhioPowerToolsorry didn’t mean to sound rude. I just didn’t realize how many different types there were out there. I do HVAC so what would you recommend for primarily soft copper 1/4” to 7/8”. I know that soft copper sizes are OD and hard copper is ID. So would a 1/4” jaw press a 3/8” fitting onto soft copper?
@@jlbost3 We didn't take it as rude--we know it's a lot of confusing stuff! For this you'll need to match up the fittings to the tool you'll be using. It's not just choosing sizes, you also have to make sure the jaws are compatible with the fittings being used. This link should help identify the jaws required. If not though, let us know! www.milwaukeetool.com/PDFViewer?file=www.milwaukeetool.com/-/media/PDFs/Objective-Data/2024-Compatibility-Matrix.pdf
Milwaukee M12 Starts around $2300 and M18 Kit is around $3900, both have a lot of options for different heads including black pipe, ACR, ZoomLock but the M18 will do the larger sizes.

Sorry we were trying to address some of the common confusing questions we get specifically on codes, conversions and part numbers. We've had some tell us this address their specific questions and others as you can see above are more confused than before watching the video... Unfortunately it's a confusing topic with way to many abbreviations. Wish we could just make a simple video answering the Question, Are press tools good? Answer, YES they are great!
It is a lot! As mentioned to another commenter, for some people this addressed their specific questions since they're the ones we get most often, and for others not so much. Unfortunately it's a confusing topic with a lot of variables. If you have any specific questions we're happy to help, or our blog in the description may be a better source for you!

Great video. WOW! I must be really old, this stuff is so new and impressive.
Love all the new partnerships, really expands the functionality of these press tools!
I used the Ridgid C1 actuator and close quarter jaws on my M12 press for years they work exactly the same.
Thank you for posting this.

Can I use that with a Ridgid rp115 pro press?

I am now more confused than I was before I watched this video
Do you have any specific questions we could answer for you?
