RIIFO MLCP Manual Pressing Tool

Built with extended handles for greater leverage, this manual pressing tool is designed to make up press connections on multilayer pipe fittings without the need for a battery or electric press gun. The lengthened handle design helps reduce the effort required when closing the jaw around a fitting, particularly useful on the larger end of the size range where a standard handle length can make for a harder squeeze.

To complete a connection, the correct insert must be selected and fitted to the tool ahead of pressing, with the diameter of the insert matched exactly to the diameter of the pipe and fitting being joined. Once the tool and jaw are correctly positioned on the fitting's press sleeve, the handles are closed in a smooth, continuous motion until the two touch points meet, completing the press in a single, uninterrupted action.

As with all press connections in the F18 and F5 ranges, the pressing process should only be carried out once per joint, with the tool and jaws kept in good working condition to ensure a reliable, leak-free result.

The jaw inserts provided by RIIFO are U profile, so should be positioned as below as per the U profile diagram. If using another tool with TH profile, they should be positioned differently.

• Extended handle leverage: The lengthened design reduces the effort needed to close the jaw, especially useful on larger pipe sizes.
• Interchangeable inserts: Each insert is sized to a specific pipe diameter, allowing one tool to be used across a range of fitting sizes.
• Manual operation: No battery or power source required, making it a reliable option for on-site work regardless of power access.
• Single-motion pressing: Handles close in one smooth action, helping ensure the press is completed fully and correctly first time.
