RIDGID 60638 MegaPress Booster Kit: 2-1/2" to 4" Capacity

This kit delivers the power to press large-diameter steel pipe without the cost and safety risks of welding. The Press Booster attaches to your RIDGID RP 340 press tool and increases its output, letting you use MegaPress XL fittings on 2-1/2, 3, and 4 inch pipe. The kit includes the booster and the rings needed for these sizes, so you have everything to get started right out of the box.

What's Included and How It Works

In the box you'll find the RIDGID Press Booster and a set of pressing rings covering 2-1/2, 3, and 4 inch sizes. The booster attaches securely to your RP 340, and then you simply snap the correct ring around the Viega MegaPress XL fitting. When the press cycle is activated, the booster multiplies the force to create a permanent, leak-free connection in less than 25 seconds. No flames, no hot work permits, and the system is approved for use on wet lines.

Setup and Compatibility

Setting up the 60638 kit is straightforward. The booster mounts directly to your RIDGID RP 340 using the included hardware. Once attached, you're ready to press any compatible MegaPress XL fitting within the 2-1/2 to 4 inch range. The rings are machined from heavy-duty steel and are designed for thousands of cycles. This system is specifically engineered for use with Viega MegaPress XL fittings, ensuring a correct press profile and reliable performance.

Why Choose This Product?

MegaPress technology eliminates the need for hot work permits, reduces fire risk, and saves significant time on the job. You can make connections even on live (wet) systems, avoiding system drain-down. This translates directly to lower installation costs and faster project completion. For commercial HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping, the RIDGID 60638 kit is a game-changer.
