Description, Specifications
And Standard Equipment
Description
The RP 200-B Press Tool, when used with appropriate
jaws, is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing
to create a water-tight and permanent seal. When the
switch on the RP 200-B is depressed, an internal electric
motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces fluid into
the cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram forward and apply-
ing thousands of pounds of pressing force onto specially
designed fittings. Attachments are also available for other
uses.
The entire cycle duration is approximately four (4) sec-
onds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will auto-
matically continue until completion, even if the trigger
switch is released. The LED light on the front of the tool
will blink to indicate issues such as improper temperature,
low battery, or maintenance required.
The RP 200-B comes with two (2) fabric loops that can be
used with appropriate attachments such as shoulder
straps or tie off lines.
