Description and Specifications
Description
RIDGID Press Tool Attachments for MegaPress
MegaPressG ® Sys tems, when used with the appropriate
RIDGID Press Tool, are designed to mechanically press
MegaPress fittings onto pipe to create a permanent water
or gas tight seal. MegaPress
Viega GmbH & Co. When the switch on the press tool is
depressed, a motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces
fluid into the press tool cylinder. This moves the tool rollers
forward into contact with the attachment and applies thou-
sands of pounds of force to the specially designed fitting.
The entire pressing cycle takes between 4 and 8 seconds
starting from when the switch is pressed. Once the press-
ing tool starts to deform the fitting, the tool will automati-
cally continue the press until complete.

MegaPress Rings are designed to mechanically press
MegaPress and MegaPressG fittings onto 1
pipe. An individual ring is required for each pipe size.
1 1 / " to 2" rings can only be actuated with the V2 actuator

and Standard Series Press Tools. 1
rings cannot be actuated with Compact Series Press
Tools.
The MegaPress rings must be used perpendicular to the
fitting and pipe being pressed but the ball pocket/tip fea-
ture on the rings and actuators allows the actuator and
press tool to swivel up to 90 degrees in each direction.
This allows the rings and actuators to be used in some
applications where jaw sets and pressing tool might not fit.
The MegaPress rings are marked to show the correct
actuator for use with that ring.
