RIDGID’s Press-In branch connector tool kit quickly makes 3/4” branch connections on black steel pipe.

MegaPress Stainless XL fittings for 2 1/2”, 3” and 4” pipe now are available and join the current MegaPress Stainless offerings of 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, 1 1/2” and 2” sizes to create a comprehensive lineup for a broad variety of applications, including maintenance and repair.
