The RIDGID 28048 V1/C1 combo kit is your complete solution for connecting ProPress system fittings with RIDGID compact and standard press tools. This kit provides the V1 and C1 actuators plus the 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-inch press rings you need for a wide range of copper and PEX pipe connections. Every component is designed to work as a system, so you can be confident in consistent, repeatable crimps.
Unpack the kit and identify the V1 and C1 actuators. Attach the correct press ring for the fitting size, then connect the actuator to your RIDGID press tool. Make sure the actuator is fully seated and the ring snaps into place before pressing. The included carrying case keeps everything organized and protected between jobs.
The V1 and C1 actuators work with RIDGID compact and standard press tools, respectively. Match the actuator to your tool model and always use the ring that corresponds to the fitting size. For ProPress fittings, pressing creates a mechanical connection that meets code in most jurisdictions.
This kit is a practical investment for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals who need to tackle multiple pipe sizes without buying separate ring kits.

Getting the right press ring onto the right actuator is the first step to a clean installation. This quick guide walks you through the process and helps you avoid common mistakes.
The V1 and C1 actuators look similar but are machined for different tool families. Check the markings on the actuator side and match them to your press tool's manual. Using the wrong actuator can damage the ring or fitting.
Select the ring that matches the fitting size, insert the ring into the actuator jaws, and push until it locks. Do not force it; if it doesn't snap in, rotate the ring and try again. A secure click means it's ready.
Before you press a real fitting, do a dry run on a scrap piece of pipe. This confirms the ring is seated and the actuator is working correctly. If the ring wobbles or the actuator doesn't close fully, re-check the assembly.
The V1 actuator is designed for RIDGID compact press tools, while the C1 is for standard press tools. Matching the actuator to your tool model ensures correct engagement and pressing force.
You need to verify compatibility. The V1 works with compact models and the C1 with standard models. Check your press tool's manual to confirm which actuator it accepts.
No, this kit covers 1/2-inch to 1-1/4-inch. For larger sizes, you'll need separate rings designed for those diameters.
Attach the correct press ring to the actuator until it clicks, then connect the actuator to your press tool. Make sure the release button is aligned and the actuator is fully seated before pressing.
Love it. Easy pro press.
Used these on a full repipe. The rings clamp consistently and the case keeps everything organized. No leaks first try.
I've been a plumber for thirty-five years and have seen plumbing fittings change dramatically. These press rings are precision-machined, and they feel solid in the hand. The V1 and C1 actuators work with my regular tool, and the case is thoughtful with cutouts for each ring. I used the 3/4 ring on a dozen connections, and every joint formed perfectly. My old solder tools are gathering dust. It's a big investment, but if you do this for a living, it pays off quickly.
I do handyman work and bought this set for occasional PEX jobs. The rings are well made and the case is nice. However, I wish it came with a bag instead of a case, as it takes up space in my truck. Also, the instructions are a little sparse. That said, the actual press quality is excellent.
Makes crimping so fast. I'm a newbie and got perfect joints every time.
Just what I needed.
I bought this to upgrade my rental tools. The press rings are definitely machined to tight tolerances. They lock in with a reassuring click, and the actuator is easy to change between V1 and C1. I ran fifty connections on a commercial job without a single miss. The case is rugged and will survive being thrown in a van. I can't say enough good things about it.
The rings work fine with my compact press, but you can buy a cheaper kit without the actuators. The case is bulky. Overall, okay for occasional use.
Okay, I've never used ProPress before, but this made me look like a pro. The rings are color-coded by size, which is genius. My brother-in-law is a plumber and he was impressed. We did a whole shower valve in twenty minutes. The carrying case fits in my trunk. No leaks on pressure test. Totally recommend this to any DIYer who is tired of sweating pipes.
I've used these on several jobs now. The rings don't slip and the joints are clean. The only downside is that the 1-1/4 ring is heavy, but that's expected. The case is well padded but takes up space. I'd buy it again.
