Compact 100-B Pressing Tool
Description, Specifications and
Standard Equipment
Description
The Compact 100-B Pressing Tool, when used with appro-
priate jaw sets, is designed to mechanically press fittings
onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal.
When the switch on the Compact 100-B is depressed, an
internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump which
forces fluid into the cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram for-
ward and applying thousands of pounds of pressing force
onto specially designed fittings.
The entire cycle duration is approximately seven (7) sec-
onds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will auto-
matically continue until completion, even if the trigger
switch is released. LED displays on the top of the tool indi-
cate problems such as improper temperature, open jaw
mounting pin or maintenance required.

Inspecting The Compact
Pressing Tool and Jaw Sets
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, inspect the Compact
100-B Pressing Tool, battery charger and Compact
Jaw Sets. Never use the Compact 100-B Jaw Set
with damaged or missing parts. The following
inspection procedures should be performed on a
daily basis:
1. Make sure the Compact 100-B Pressing Tool battery
is removed.
2. Inspect the tool housing and switch for damage.
Check for damage such as cracks in the tool housing
and exposed wires.
3. Inspect the jaw sets. If dirty, clean jaw sets. Refer to
Maintenance Section for cleaning instructions. Failure
to properly maintain jaws can result in an improper
connection that can lead to extensive property dam-
age. If any cracks are found, discard the damaged
assemblies and obtain replacement.
Always discard the entire assembly. Never

replace individual components except for jaw return
springs. Failure to replace the entire assembly may result
in component failure and serious injury.
