Inspecting The Pressed Connection

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

a control ring and/or a control label by the fitting

manufacturer, remove it. Control rings and label are

supplied by the manufacturer to indicate that the fitting

has not yet been pressed. Removal of the control ring

and 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 –

double check the insertion marks made on the

tube to see that they are still aligned with the end of

the fitting.

• 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. Test system in accordance with normal practice and

local codes.

3. See press system’s operator’s manual for specific

inspection criteria.

NOTE! If yellow LED service indicator blinks, the tool

should be sent to a RIDGID Authorized Service

Center for required maintenance. The tool will not

run if it is not maintained within 2,000 cycles

after the first blinking yellow LED.

8. After cycle is complete, squeeze actuator arms to

open and separate actuator from press ring. Remove

the press ring from fitting by manually grasping ring

halves and opening assembly. Avoid any sharp edges

which may have formed on fitting during pressing

operation.

The RP 330 Pressing Tool will turn off auto-

matically if the battery is too low to successfully com-

plete a pressed connection. This will be indicated by

blinking of the green LED. A fully charged battery should

be inserted in the tool and the pressed connection should

be repeated as indicated above. To retract the rollers

and remove the tool from the fitting if battery dies or tool

malfunctions during pressed connection, it is necessary to

press the black pressure release button on the left hand

side of the tool.
