RIDGID ProPress XL-C Rings (2½″–4″) with V2 Actuator | Kit 20483

RIDGID ProPress XL-C Rings (Kit 20483) give pros a fast, reliable way to press 2½″–4″ copper and stainless-steel tube. The included V2 Actuator features a patented swiveling interface for superior access in cramped spaces and connects to RIDGID Standard Series press tools for code-compliant, flameless joints in seconds.

Overview

The RIDGID ProPress XL-C Rings are engineered for large-diameter plumbing and mechanical work where speed, access, and consistency matter. Designed in conjunction with ProPress XL-C (copper) and XL-S (stainless) fittings, this complete kit includes 2½″, 3″, and 4″ rings plus the V2 Actuator and case. The patented swivel design allows the press tool to approach the tube at ±90° for better maneuverability around joists, strut, parallel runs, and congested mechanical rooms.

Pair the rings with RIDGID Standard Series press tools—CT-400, 320-E, RP 330-B, RP 330-C, RP 340, or RP 350—to make strong, permanent, flameless connections without torches or hot work permits. Because presses are clean and repeatable, you can move faster through risers, mains, and distribution loops while maintaining high-quality, inspection-friendly results.

In summary, the RIDGID ProPress XL-C Rings help you complete large-diameter copper and stainless installations faster, safer, and with greater access—all while using the press tools you already trust.

Features & Benefits

• Large-diameter coverage: Press 2½″, 3″, and 4″ copper (XL-C) and stainless (XL-S) fittings quickly and consistently.
• Patented swivel access: The V2 Actuator connects at any angle and lets the tool approach the tube at ±90° for tight, overhead, and offset work.
• System compatibility: Designed with the ProPress XL platform to help ensure total fitting compatibility and reliable sealing.
• Standard Series ready: Works with CT-400, 320-E, RP 330-B, RP 330-C, RP 340, RP 350 press tools for proven force delivery.
• Flameless & efficient: No torches, flux, or solder—reduce risk, speed installations, and minimize downtime in occupied facilities.
• Quick identification: V2 jaw identification clips make it easy to grab the correct setup on busy jobsites.
• Rugged build: Precision-machined alloy steel rings withstand daily professional use and frequent transport.

Detailed Description

Large-diameter pressing traditionally meant workarounds: staging ladders for leverage, scheduling hot work, or juggling clearance with bulky tooling. The RIDGID ProPress XL-C Rings remove those bottlenecks. The V2 Actuator couples to each ring in seconds and adds a patented, 180-degree swiveling interface. That freedom lets your press tool sit in the most comfortable position while the ring encircles the fitting—ideal for crowded corridors, high ceilings, and tight chases.

Each XL-C ring delivers 360° even compression around the fitting bead to create a permanent, leak-resistant joint. Because the method is flameless, you’ll meet strict jobsite safety policies and avoid the delays of hot work permitting. The system is designed to press copper and stainless tubing with the corresponding XL-C and XL-S fittings, providing a standardized workflow across mixed-material projects. With RIDGID Standard Series press tools supplying consistent force, the result is repeatable, documentable quality that passes inspection the first time.

The key benefit is access with confidence: the XL-C rings reach big sizes without big compromises—no flames, less strain, and a cleaner, safer jobsite.
