Detailed Description

The RIDGID Rings for ProPress Combo Kit (V1/C1 ½″–1¼″) | Model 28048 is engineered for professionals who need versatility and precision in their pressing operations. This combo kit provides the flexibility to use either Compact or Standard Series RIDGID press tools—making it a cost-effective, efficient addition to any service van or mechanical shop.

The V1 actuator connects with Standard Series tools to handle heavier applications and longer runs, while the C1 actuator pairs with Compact Series tools for fast, one-handed operation in tighter locations. Both actuators feature the RIDGID-patented swivel head, allowing the press tool to approach the pipe from nearly any angle. This feature is especially useful in confined mechanical rooms, behind walls, and under fixtures where maneuverability is limited.

Each ProPress ring applies even, 360° compression around the fitting bead for a leak-proof, permanent seal. The design ensures consistent, code-compliant joints and eliminates the inconsistencies that can occur with manual soldering or threading. Because the process is flameless, you can press wet lines without draining systems or waiting for joints to cool.

The key benefit is versatility—the V1/C1 Combo Kit equips you for virtually any job, any space, and any ProPress fitting size up to 1¼″, using your existing RIDGID press tools.
