What happens here

This video demonstrates the features and operation of the Ridgid RP 115 press tool to create secure, leak-free connections for copper and PEX pipes. While the video specifically shows making a new connection for a water heater, this technique is highly relevant in plumbing leak repair for replacing compromised sections of pipe quickly and efficiently, ensuring a durable, leak-proof seal. The process involves introducing the tool, preparing and marking the pipe, performing the press, and finalizing connections.
