Press jaws intended to create press connections on PressACR refrigeration fittings. They are designed for use with the DEWALT Compact Press Tool (DCE210) and are sold as individual jaw sizes. The jaws have a galvanized finish, one-handed actuation arms, and are produced to distribute pressing force evenly for durability. They are designed and tested for PressACR refrigeration fittings only.
Project Ideas
Business
No-Braze Refrigeration Retrofits
Offer a service specializing in replacing or rerouting small-bore refrigeration lines in restaurants, convenience stores, and retail cases using PressACR fittings. Promote faster turnarounds, no hot-work permits, and minimal site disruption. Stock the most-used jaw sizes (3/8–7/8 in.) for liquid and suction lines to maximize first-visit completion.
Press-Ready ACR Line-Set Kitting
Provide cut-to-length, depth-marked ACR tube kits with matched PressACR fittings, labels, and documentation for contractors. Use the Compact Press Jaws to prefab manifolds and termination stubs that installers can press in the field with a DCE210. Monetize through custom sizing, barcoded QA, and premium same-day pickup.
Emergency Leak Repair & Downtime Mitigation
Launch a 24/7 mobile team focused on rapid refrigeration leak remediation using PressACR to avoid brazing in sensitive or occupied spaces. Target grocery cases, floral coolers, and small cold rooms where speed matters. Bundle nitrogen pressure testing, evacuation, and recharge (by appropriately licensed techs) for a turnkey response.
Flameless Installations for Restricted Sites
Position as a specialty subcontractor for hospitals, data centers, museums, and schools where open flames are limited. Using the DCE210 and individual press jaws, deliver press-only tie-ins, risers, and equipment change-outs with documented press profiles and QA photos. Market the safety benefits and reduced permitting friction.
Tool Rental + Certification Micro-Training
Create a rental program for the DEWALT Compact Press Tool and PressACR jaws with short competency sessions on depth marking, deburring, and inspection. Include jaw calibration logs, quick-reference guides, and optional on-site coaching. Upsell consumable kits (debur tools, markers, cleaning pads) and maintenance plans.

Glycol Chiller Coil for Homebrewing
Build a compact copper ACR immersion coil and manifold for a fermenter or keezer glycol loop. Use PressACR elbows/tees and the Compact Press Jaws (1/4–1/2 in.) to assemble leak-tight circuits quickly without brazing or hot-work permits. The one-handed actuation lets you press fittings in tight brewery setups, and the evenly distributed force helps maintain reliability under pump cycling.
Kegerator Trunk Line Upgrade
Create a clean, press-joined copper trunk line with a small glycol supply/return loop for a kegerator or tap wall. PressACR fittings and the DCE210-compatible jaws (3/8–5/8 in.) let you build neat, repeatable bends and manifolds, then insulate for condensation control. This yields professional-grade lines that are easier to service and expand later.
Cold Plate Picnic Cooler
Fabricate a copper ACR cold plate/coil assembly inside a cooler for on-the-go chilling with a glycol recirculation pump. PressACR joints eliminate flame use around plastics and foam, and the galvanized press jaws make quick, consistent connections. Add quick-disconnects and a small circulation pump for a portable, pressurizable chiller box.
Industrial Copper Tube Sculpture
Design an industrial-style art piece or lamp frame using only ACR copper tube and PressACR fittings for ultra-clean joints. The press jaws produce uniform, repeatable connections that double as design accents, and one-handed actuation helps when holding assemblies in place. No soldering discoloration means a pristine, galvanized-gray/bright-copper aesthetic.
HVACR Student Trainer Board
Build a reusable training panel with sections of ACR tubing, sight glasses, service ports, and PressACR demo stations. Students practice depth marking, deburring, and pressing across multiple jaw sizes (1/4–7/8 in.) using the DCE210 tool to learn proper refrigeration press techniques. Color-coded depth marks and test ports enable quick pressure checks and leak diagnosis drills.
