RIDGID, part of Emerson’s Professional Tool group, is adding even more versatility to its line of trusted press tools with the introduction of the RP 350 – an advanced, long running press tool that’s built for the most demanding jobsites.
Engineered to be five percent lighter and almost three inches shorter than its predecessor, the RP 350 eliminates scheduled service intervals for less downtime and features a brushless motor, 360-degree swivel head and most advanced LED interface and lighting.
“RIDGID has been the leader in press technology for decades, and we’re excited to give tradespeople even
more options for connecting pipe quickly, safely and with less fatigue,” said Michael Provenzano, global product
manager, press connections, RIDGID. “We’ve already heard from contractors who previewed the RP 350 at the
AHR Expo that the tool exceeds their expectations and they are excited to upgrade their pressing capabilities
on the jobsite.”
Weighing only eight pounds with the battery, the RP 350 features an advanced brushless motor, known for
maximizing tool longevity, efficiency and durability. The tool’s 360-degree swivel is an industry-first and comes
paired with brightest-in-class LED lights to let users not only access tight spaces – but see them more clearly
in low-light applications.
“The RP 350 is designed for contractor ease of use, not only from the standpoint of creating a quality press, but
also to minimize contractor fatigue when using the tool,” said Don Embree, manager, industrial design -
professional tools, Emerson. “Every feature we built into the tool helps put less impact on the body – for a more
productive day and to reduce muscle fatigue.”
Ideal for making connections on residential, commercial and industrial jobs, the RP 350 is compatible with the
full line of RIDGID jaws and rings, including: ½ – 4-inch ProPress for copper and stainless steel, ½ – 2-inch
PureFlow for PEX, and ½ – 2-inch MegaPress for carbon steel.
It also offers maximum versatility, pairing with the RIDGID Press Booster for 2 ½ -inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch carbon steel, StrutSlayr™ Strut Shear Head and the Press Snap Soil Pipe Cutter. The tool’s 18V battery platform includes a car charger for on-the-go battery charging; the unit also pairs with the RIDGID Link app to track tool usage, service needs, battery life and last known location.
All RIDGID press tools, including the RP 350, come with the RIDGID Full Lifetime Warranty.
