Description

The RIDGID 16958 ProPress Jaw for 1/2-Inch Copper is the compact accessory that lets you make professional press connections in about five seconds. It's specifically built for the RIDGID compact press tool line—RP 240, RP 241, RP 210-B, RP 200-B, and RP 100-B—and the slim profile fits where a standard jaw won't.

RIDGID 16958 ProPress Jaw: Compact Power for Copper Press Fittings

The jaw is 40% lighter and 33% smaller than standard ProPress jaws, so you get better leverage in tight spaces like under sinks and in drop ceilings. It works with ProPress copper fittings to make a flameless connection, eliminating hot work permits and letting you press on systems that haven't been fully drained.

Compatibility: Stick with RIDGID Press Tools

To get consistent, code-approved joints, use this jaw only with RIDGID compact press tools. If you're considering a Viega or other-brand press tool, confirm tool-to-jaw compatibility with the manufacturer before use—mismatched jaws can damage fittings or the tool.

Product Details

Flame-Free Press Connections

ProPress eliminates open flames, so you don't need hot work permits, and you can safely make connections near wood framing or in occupied buildings. This jaw keeps the system sealed and ready when you need to press in wet conditions.

Compact Jaw Benefits

When you're working between floor joists or behind a water heater, every inch counts. The 40% lighter and 33% smaller profile of the 16958 lets you maneuver into service spaces that would make a standard jaw awkward. That means fewer hangers, less frustration, and faster repairs.

A must-have

Works perfectly with my RP-241. The crimp is clean and secure every time. It's a must-have for copper pipe.

Changed the way I work

I've installed copper pipe for 35 years, soldering was the standard. This jaw changed everything. It makes a solid press fitting in five seconds with no torch. The compact size gets into spaces I'd struggle with. If you do any ProPress work, this jaw is worth every penny.
