RIDGID Rings for ProPress V2 Kit (1½″–2″) | Model 27428

RIDGID Rings for ProPress V2 Kit (Model 27428) gives pros a compact, swivel-access solution for pressing 1½″ and 2″ fittings in tight spaces. The patented V2 actuator lets your press tool approach the tubing at ±90°, delivering fast, flameless, code-compliant connections on copper and stainless systems.

Overview

The RIDGID Rings for ProPress V2 Kit expands your Standard Series press tool into a high-productivity solution for larger-diameter fittings. Designed as a complementary set to RIDGID jaw kits, these ProPress rings include a swiveling V2 actuator that connects at virtually any angle—so you can work around joists, parallel runs, and crowded mechanical rooms without fighting clearance. Because joints are pressed—not soldered—you’ll complete work faster, avoid hot work permits, and keep jobsites cleaner.

In summary, the V2 Kit combines access, speed, and consistency for 1½″–2″ press fittings. It’s a trusted, flameless method that reduces rework and improves job throughput for plumbing and HVAC contractors.

Features & Benefits

• Patented swivel access: V2 actuator joins to the ring at any angle, allowing your press tool to position ±90° to the tube for superior access in tight spaces.
• Sized for 1½″–2″ fittings: Includes two ProPress rings for common large-diameter branches and mains.
• Standard Series compatibility: Fits RIDGID press tools CT-400, 320-E, RP 330-B, RP 330-C, and RP 340 for proven, repeatable force delivery.
• Flameless connections: Eliminate torches, flux, and water drain-downs; reduce risk and speed up close-in work.
• System confidence: Designed in conjunction with the ProPress® system to help ensure total fitting compatibility and reliable seals.
• Portable & organized: Durable carrying case protects rings and actuator and keeps the kit ready for service routes.
• Professional durability: Precision-machined steel construction stands up to everyday commercial use.

Detailed Description

The RIDGID Rings for ProPress V2 Kit (27428) is purpose-built for 1½″ and 2″ press applications where standard fixed jaws struggle for position. The V2 actuator features a patented swiveling interface that mates to each ring quickly while allowing the press tool to articulate around obstacles. This freedom of approach is especially valuable in retrofit work, overhead runs, and tight chases where torch work is risky or not permitted.

Each ring applies even, 360° compression around the ProPress fitting bead to create a secure, leak-resistant connection. The result is a consistent, repeatable press that’s easy to document and pass inspection. Because connections are flameless, you can work in occupied buildings and sensitive environments with less interruption and without special permits. The kit’s rugged case keeps components organized between calls, and the quick-connect interface speeds setup so you can move from fitting to fitting with minimal downtime.

The key benefit is access with confidence: you get the maneuverability needed for large-diameter fittings, the reliability of the ProPress system, and the efficiency of your existing RIDGID Standard Series press tools—all in one compact kit.

Use Cases

• Commercial risers & mains: Press 1½″–2″ copper or stainless fittings in schools, hospitals, hotels, and mixed-use buildings where hot work is restricted.
• Retrofit & tenant improvements: Navigate crowded ceilings and mechanical rooms without long levers or open flame.
• Service & repair: Make quick, clean connections during shutdown windows with minimal cleanup and faster restart.
• HVAC hydronics: Press larger-diameter branches, pumps, and boiler connections efficiently and consistently.

This product is ideal for plumbing and HVAC pros who need a fast, flameless, inspection-friendly method for 1½″–2″ fittings in tight or occupied spaces.

Why Choose the RIDGID Rings for ProPress V2 Kit?

• Access vs. fixed jaws: The V2 actuator’s swivel dramatically improves approach angles, reducing contortions and setup time.
• Lower job risk: Flameless pressing avoids combustion hazards, overspray, and mess associated with flux and solder.
• Ecosystem value: Works with RIDGID Standard Series tools many teams already own, protecting your battery and tool investments.
• E-E-A-T built in: RIDGID’s engineering pedigree, system compatibility with ProPress fittings, and a documented operator workflow support reliable, code-compliant results.
