Press-Fit Copper Connections

What happens here

Press fittings offer a flameless and fast way to connect copper pipes, particularly useful in situations where soldering with a torch is unsafe or inconvenient. Insert the copper pipe fully into the press fitting. Open the jaws of a specialized press tool (such as the Milwaukee M18 Force Logic Press Tool) and position them around the fitting. Press the button to activate the tool, which will crimp the fitting onto the pipe, creating a watertight and secure connection. While very efficient, the specialized press tool is a significant investment.

Goal: Create a fast and secure connection for copper pipes without heat.
