Fitting System Description and Specifications Description RIDGID Press Tool Attachments for ProPress

Systems, 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:

1. Inspect the work to be done and determine

• The system of fittings to be used

• The sizes of fittings to be used

• The amount of space available for the tool and attachments to make the pressed connections.

2. Determine the appropriate pressing tool and attach-

ments for the application. See the Description and Specification section for information on the attach- ments available for the ProPress systems. Information on clearance requirements for various attachments can be found at the back of the manual. Information on RIDGID Pressing Tools and other RIDGID press tool attachments can be found at www.RIDGID.com, or by contacting Ridge Tool Technical Services at [phone] or [e-mail]. Only use RIDGID Press Tools and RIDGID press tool attachments (jaw sets, rings, actuators, etc.) when specified by the fitting manufacturer for use with their system. Be sure to use the correct actuator for the ring being used. Rings are marked to indicate the correct actuator for use with the ring. Use of in - correct press tools and/or attachments for a system can cause system leaks, damage the press tool and attachment or cause severe personal injury.

3. Make sure that the press tool and attachment have

been inspected according to their respective manuals or instructions.

4. Follow tool set up procedure according to the specif-

ic press tool operator’s manual. Mounting Attachment Into Press Tool

1. Make sure that the press tool is unplugged or that the

battery is removed from the tool.

2. Pull the attachment mounting pin on the press tool

out. If there is already an attachment in the tool, slide it out of the pressing tool (See Figure 5).

Fitting System and correct any problems to reduce the risk of seri- ous injury from electric shock, tool and attach- ment failure and other causes and to prevent tool and property damage.

1. Inspect press tool according to the specific tool oper-

2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool and attach-

ments, especially the handles and controls. This reduces the risk of the tool or attachment slipping from your grip and makes inspection easier.

3. Closely inspect all pressing attachment components

(jaw sets, rings, actuators, etc.) for any cracked, bro- ken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts or any other sign of damage that may prevent proper and safe operation. Damaged parts can cause the attach- ment to make incorrect pressed connections or fail during use, and cause serious injury or property dam- age. If any damage is found, the attachment should discarded and replaced. (See Figure 14.) Always discard the complete pressing attachment. Never replace individual components or exchange parts between assemblies. Failure to replace the entire assembly may result in component failure and serious injury. Do not modify pressing attachments or use modified attachments. A pressing attachment component that has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any manner can shatter during pressing, resulting in sharp flying objects, severe injury or death. Discard and replace damaged pressing attachments.

4. Inspect the attachment markings to make sure that it

is clearly marked as to the system and size that it is appropriate for. Do not use an attachment that is not clearly marked.

5. Inspect the press profile of the attachment. If it is

rusty, dirty or if there is a build up of fitting material, clean as described in the maintenance section. It is important to keep the press profile clean to prevent the formation of burrs during pressing process, prevent the attachment from sticking to the fitting and making sure that a proper press connection is made.

6. Make sure that springs are intact and bias the attach-

ment in the proper direction (closed for rings, jaws and actuators). Attachment should cycle freely from the fully open to fully closed position. If needed, lubricate pivot points with a light lubricating oil. Wipe any excess oil from the attachment. WARNINGFigure 5 – Pulling The Jaw Set Mounting Pin Out

3. Slide the attachment into the press tool and fully

engage the attachment mounting pin. The press tool will not function unless the pin is fully engaged. Calibrating The Pressing Tool For The Specific Pressing Attachment (320-E Pressing Tool Only) The RIDGID 320-E Pressing Tool includes a feature to help insure that complete press connections are made. To use this feature, when a press attachment is installed on the 320-E, a calibration cycle is done. The 320-E then compares that calibration cycle to each press connection made. If the press connection does not match the cali- bration cycle, the 320-E alerts the user that a pressing error has occurred so that the operator can take appro- priate action. See the 320-E manual or contact Ridge Tool Technical Service if you have any questions regarding this feature. Preparing The Connection These are generalized instructions. Always fol- low the fitting manufacturers specific installation instruc- tions. Failure to follow the fitting manufacturer’s installation instructions may lead to an improper press connection and cause leaking connections and property damage. Preparing the Tube

1. If necessary, cut the desired length of the proper

tube for use with the fitting system. Use a tubing cutter or other method that provides a clean cut square to the axis of the tube. If using a vise or other method to hold the tube during cutting, make sure that the vise is far enough from the end of the tube not to damage the section of tube that is inserted into the fit- ting. Scratches on the outside diameter of the tube and deformed tube can cause leaks.

2. Deburr the tube end inside and out with a file, ream-

er, deburring tool or other suitable tool. Burrs can cut the sealing element of the fitting and cause leaks.

3. Clean the end of the tube of all dirt, oil and grease.

Improperly prepared tube can cause improper con- nections, leaks and other property damage. Inserting the Tube into the Fitting

1. Inspect the fitting per the manufacturer’s instructions

to be sure all parts are present, in place and free of dirt and debris. If fitting parts are missing or dirty, this can cause improper connections, leaks and other property damage. See Figure 7. Figure 6A – Inspection of the ProPress Fitting per the Manufacturer’s Instructions Figure 6B – Inspection of XL-C Fitting Prior to Tube Insertion

2. In some systems, there is a requirement to mark the

tube before insertion. Check the fitting manufacturer’s instructions, and if required, mark the tubing with a permanent marker at the appropriate distance from the tube end. This gives a visual reference that the tube has been fully inserted into the fitting prior to pressing the connection. See Figure 7.

3. Fully insert the tube into the fitting. Most fittings have

a stop that the tube end contacts to indicate full inser- tion. Other fittings do not have a stop and will allow the tube to fully pass through the fitting, and are typically used in repair applications. If there is no stop, insert the tube so that the mark made in the previous step is even with the end of the fitting. In some cases, a twisting motion during insertion makes the process easier. Never use any lubricant unless the fitting man- ufacturer specifically advises to. Lubricants can de - grade the seal and cause leaks. Tubing that is difficult to insert may be out of round or have burrs on the tube end, which can damage the seal and cause leaks.

4. Make sure that the tube is fully inserted in the fitting

and if not marked in previous steps, mark the tube at the end of the fitting to give a visual reference that the tube is fully inserted. See Figures 8 and 9. Figure 8 – Marking the Tubing After Fully Inserting Tube Figure 9 – Inserting the Tube Into Fitting to Proper Depth Operating Instructions WARNING Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes against dirt and other foreign objects. Keep your fingers and hands away from the tool attachment during the pressing cycle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed fractured or amputated in the attachment or tool or between the attach- ment, work piece and other objects. Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of injury from crushing and other causes and to pre- vent tool damage. Only use RIDGID Press Tools and RIDGID press tool attachments (jaw sets, rings, actuators, etc.) when specified by the fitting manufacturer for use with their system. Use of incorrect press tools and/or attachments for a system can cause system leaks, damage the press tool or attachment, void warranties or cause severe per- sonal injury. Confirm that the tool and attachments have been properly set up. Pressing the Connection with a Jaw Set

1. Squeeze the jaw arms to open the Jaw set and place

the open jaws around the fitting. Allow the jaw set to close around the fitting, making sure to align the press profile of the jaw set with the contour of the fit- ting (See Figure 10). Figure 10 – Opening the Jaw set and Placing Around Fitting

2. Confirm that the tubing is inserted to the proper depth

in the fitting. As specified in appropriate Fitting System instructions.

Fitting System WARNING3. Make sure that the jaw set and pressing tool are square to the tube and fitting (See Figure 11) and depress the press tool switch. Keep fingers and hands away from the jaw set to avoid crushing injuries in jaw set and between the jaw set and the surroundings. Figure 11 – Jaw Set Square To Fitting and Tubing The pressing cycle takes 4-8 seconds depending on the press tool. Once a press cycle begins and the rollers contact the Jaw set, the press tool will lock on and automatically complete the press cycle. Releasing the tool switch will not stop the tool once the pressing process has begun. This insures consis- tent, repeatable press connection integrity. If the tool should malfunction, refer to the specific press tool operator’s manual.

4. Press the jaw set jaw arms to open the jaw set and

remove from the fitting. Avoid any sharp edges that may have formed on fitting during pressing operation. Pressing the Connection with a Ring and Actuator

1. Open the appropriate Press Ring and place square-

ly around the fitting. Allow the ring to close around the fitting, making sure to align the press profile with the contour of the fitting. If the ring is not properly aligned with the fitting, an improper press connection will be made. See Figures 12A and B. Figure 12A – Installing ProPress XL-C Press Ring Onto Fitting Figure 12B – Installing ProPress Ring Onto Fitting

2. Confirm that the appropriate actuator for the ring to be

pressed is in the pressing tool (the ring will be marked with the designation of the appropriate actuator - C1, V1, V2). The correct actuator/ring combination must be used to prevent possible injury, ring and actuator damage, and improper press connections.

3. Squeeze the actuator arms to open the actuator tips,

place tips in ring pockets and allow the actuator to close down and seat into the pockets. See Figure 14A – B. The C1, V1 and V2 actuators and their mating rings are designed to allow the actuator and tool to be rotated up to ninety degrees each way from perpen- dicular. Actuactor tips must be fully engaged in ring pockets. Misaligning actuator tip to ring pocket can damage the ring or actuator during pressing. Make sure that the actuator tips are fully engaged in the ring pockets. (See Figure 13.)

Fitting System NOTICEFigure 13 – Damaged Ring Pocket Figure 14A – Placing V2 Actuator Tips Into XL-C Ring Pockets Figure 14B – Placing V2 Actuator Into XL-C Ring Pockets At An Angle For Additional Clearance Do not hang the actuator and tool from the ring. The tool and actuator could fall from the ring and cause serious injury or death.

4. Make sure that the ring is square to the tube and fit-

ting and depress the press tool switch. Keep fingers and hands away from the actuator and ring to avoid crushing injuries in the attachments and between the attachments and surroundings. The pressing cycle takes 4-8 seconds depending on the press tool. Once a press cycle begins and the

Fitting System rollers contact the actuator, the press tool will lock on and automatically complete the press cycle. Re - leasing the tool switch will not stop the tool once the pressing process has begun. This insures consis- tent, repeatable press connection integrity. If the tool should malfunction, refer to the specific press tool operator’s manual. The ProPress rings and the ProPress XL-C rings are designed to fully close during the pressing process.

5. After the pressing operation is complete, squeeze the

actuator arms to open the actuator tips and remove from the ring.

6. Remove the ring from the fitting. Avoid any sharp

edges that may have formed on the fitting during the pressing operation. Inspecting The Press Connection

1. Inspect the pressed fitting. If the fitting is supplied with

a control label by the fitting manufacturer, remove it (Refer to Figures 6B). Control labels are supplied by the manufacturer to indicate that the fitting has not yet been pressed. Removal of the control label indicates to others that the connection has been pressed. Look for the following:

• Excessive misalignment of the tubes. Note that a slight amount of misalignment at the pressed con- nection is considered normal.

• Tubes that are not fully inserted into the fitting – dou- ble check the insertion marks made on the tube to see that they are still aligned with the end of the fit- ting.

• Incorrect jaw or ring alignment with the fitting con- tour, distorted or deformed fitting.

• Any other issues per the fitting manufacturer. If any of these problems are found, then removal of the fitting is required and a new fitting and tube will need to be prepared and pressed in its place.

2. If inspecting ProPress fittings, check and confirm the

presence of the ProPress witness mark in one of the hex flats (See Figure 15). This unique mark con- firms that the proper RIDGID Jaw set, designed specifically for the ProPress Fitting System was used to make the pressed connection. This witness mark is a trade mark of the Ridge Tool Company. Absence of the witness mark may invalidate the system manu- facturer’s warranty. The ProPress XL-C systems do not have a witness mark. DamagedUse a fine grade Scotch-Brite

(Scotch-Brite is a registered trademark of the 3M Company) metal polishing pad, steel wool, or a steel bristle wire brush to clean the press profile. Do not clean the press profile with aggressive materials or methods, such as emery cloth, sandpaper or grinding wheels. This may alter critical press profile dimensions and cause improper press connections.

2. Lubricate pivot pins and points of relative motion on

the attachment at least once a month with a light weight general purpose lubricating oil. Clean off any excess oil.

3. Check return springs in attachments with each use.

Attach ments should open and close freely with only moderate effort. If springs are missing or unit binds, do not use until the attachment has been fixed. Accessories WARNING Only the following RIDGID ProPress products have been designed to function with RIDGID Press Tools. Other press tool attachments and accessories suit- able for use with other tools may become haz- ardous and/or produce bad presses. To prevent serious injury when pressing ProPress fittings, only use attachments such as those listed below. ProPress System: ProPress Rings ProPress XL-C Press Rings Machine Storage These tools and attachments must be kept indoors or well covered in inclement weather. Store in a locked area out of the reach of children and people unfamiliar with the tools. These tools can cause serious injury in the hands of untrained users.

3. Test the system in accordance with the system sup-

pliers instructions, normal practice and local codes. The system supplier may have specific system test procedures to confirm the integrity of the system. Maintenance Instructions WARNING Press attachments should be removed from press tool before performing any maintenance. Always wear safety glasses. Protect your eyes from dirt and other foreign objects. A jaw, press ring or ring actuator component that has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any manner can shatter during pressing, resulting in sharp flying objects, severe injury or death. Discard and replace damaged jaws, press rings or ring actu- ators.

1. Before use, inspect the press profile. If damaged,

discard the attachment. If rusty, dirty or if there is evidence of fitting material build up or other contam- inants, manually clean the press profile. Contaminants in the press area (especially near the tips of scissor style jaws or press rings - see Figure 16) make it more likely that burrs will form on the fitting during pressing. Burrs can damage the attachment press profile. Figure 16 – Fitting Material Build-Up In Press Profile NOTICEFitting MaterialBuildupWitness Mark Catalog No. Description 28043 C1 Kit,
