What happens here

With the pipe correctly marked and the press fitting in place, the presenter positions the open jaws of the Ridgid RP 115 press tool around the fitting. It's crucial to ensure the jaws are squared to the pipe and fully encompass the fitting to guarantee even pressure distribution during the press. The tool is then activated by pulling the trigger. The jaws rapidly close, crimping the fitting onto the pipe, creating a permanent, watertight seal. The video demonstrates this action twice, illustrating the ease and speed of making these leak-free connections, which are ideal for both new plumbing installations and replacing leaking sections of pipe without the need for soldering or glues.
