RIDGID RP 251 is a compact, next-gen press tool designed for fast, one-handed pressing in tight spaces. The SlimGrip™ handle, forward trigger, and 360° swivel head improve access overhead and in crowded chases, while a bright LED ring and RIDGID Link™ Bluetooth® connectivity streamline real-world service work.
The RIDGID RP 251 advances the compact press category with practical ergonomics and connected intelligence. Its 360° swiveling barrel solves the access problem on overhead mains and tight risers, while the SlimGrip™ geometry centers the tool comfortably in the hand for steady, one-handed presses. A brushless drive maximizes reliability in demanding environments and eliminates routine motor maintenance.
Technicians gain real-time visibility with the RIDGID Link™ app via Bluetooth. From press counts to battery status and optional tool locking, the app helps supervisors track usage, plan charging, and enforce service intervals. In dim conditions, the LED light ring floods the joint area so you can verify jaw alignment before every press.
The RP 251 is compatible with RIDGID Compact Series jaws, rings, and actuators (sold separately or included with select kits). Typical press capacities include:
up to 1-1/4 in (32 mm) on Copper & Stainless Steel, up to 1 in (25 mm) on Carbon Steel, and up to 1-1/2 in (40 mm) on PEX tubing. This coverage makes the tool a versatile choice for residential and light commercial systems, renovations, and service work that demands speed and repeatable quality.
In summary, the key benefit is faster, safer, and repeatable press connections with superior access and one-hand control. The RIDGID RP 251 reduces time on site, removes open-flame risks from soldering, and produces consistent joints that help minimize callbacks.
