The Ridgid 57418 RP 240 Press Tool is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal, such as for plumbing and heating applications. 15% smaller and 10% lighter than its predecessor (RP 210-B), its lightweight, low profile design will help you easily work in the most difficult jobsite conditions.

When the 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 5 seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the run switch is released.

Status lights indicate key runtime information, such as improper temperature, low battery, or maintenance required. A work light turns on when the run switch is depressed to illuminate the work area. The head can be rotated for better access in tight spaces.

The RP 240 also offers many unique features, like Bluetooth connectivity (connecting the tool to the RIDGID Link app), which allows users to track numbers of cycles, battery information, and much more.
