Selecting the right jaw for your press tool is critical. The 48433 is a Compact Press Tool jaw—it is designed to fit the smaller head of RIDGID Compact tools. It will not fit XL press tools. If you have an XL machine, look for the corresponding XL MegaPress jaw with the same pipe size.
MegaPress jaws press carbon steel pipe with press fittings, creating a leak-proof connection without welding or threading. The 1/2-inch jaw is the right size for 1/2-inch nominal carbon steel pipe. Make sure the fitting is fully seated and the jaw is aligned before pressing.
Keep the jaw surfaces clean and free of scale. Apply a light machine oil to moving parts. Store in a padded case to protect the pressing profile.
No, the 48433 is designed for RIDGID Compact Press Tools only. For XL press tools, you need the corresponding XL MegaPress jaw.
It fits RIDGID Compact Press Tool heads that accept MegaPress jaws. Check your tool's jaw retention mechanism before ordering.
No, this is a MegaPress jaw for carbon steel pipe and press fittings. Use the appropriate PEX or copper jaws for those materials.
Yes, it is specifically sized for 1/2-inch carbon steel pipe and fittings.
RIDGID Compact Press Tools are marked as compact; if your tool is an XL model, the 48433 won't fit.
Works as expected.
This jaw fits my press tool perfectly. It makes pressing pipe easy.
I'm a plumber and use this every day. It's built tough and presses consistently. The alignment is spot on. It saves me time on every job.
Good quality jaw. It does the job.
I've used other press jaws before, and this one is definitely reliable. It hasn't slipped once since I got it. The compact size is handy for tight spots. I'd recommend it to any plumber.
It works fine. No issues.
