Actuator designed to press copper, stainless steel tubing, and carbon steel piping when used with standard press rings. It is shaped to distribute force evenly with the correct press rings. The component has a black galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. The actuator is compatible with the 20V MAX press tool DCE200 (sold separately) and with most professional-grade press fitting systems.
Project Ideas
Business
No-Flame Retrofit Repipe
Offer a mobile press-fit service for multifamily and commercial spaces where hot-work permits are a pain. Press copper, stainless, or carbon steel with standard rings to complete repipes after-hours with minimal shutdown.
Prefab Manifolds & Skids
Fabricate offsite domestic water or hydronic manifolds using press fittings for rapid field install. Sell standardized sizes (e.g., 1–2 in headers with multiple drops) and custom-labeled ports.
Event/Pop-up Water Lines
Provide temporary potable water distribution for festivals, pop-ups, and construction offices. Press assemblies go up fast, hold pressure, and break down for reuse, reducing hose clutter and leaks.
Restaurant/Kitchen Downtime Saver
Specialize in stainless press upgrades for commercial kitchens and breweries. Market ‘overnight swap’ packages: remove corroded lines and install press-fit stainless with sanitary transitions before morning service.
Tool + Training Micro-Rental
Rent the DCE200-compatible actuator with a ring set and offer a 2-hour on-site training. Upsell consumables and pre-kitted fittings by pipe size, and provide a pressure-test checklist for QA.
Creative
Copper Living Wall Irrigation
Build a sleek copper pipe grid with pressed tees and elbows to drip-irrigate a vertical plant wall. The actuator with standard press rings lets you assemble leak-tight joints quickly without soldering near plants or walls.
Stainless Pipe Bar Cart
Create a modern bar cart frame from stainless steel tubing joined with press fittings. The uniform force distribution keeps joints square and clean, and the black galvanized finish of the actuator stands up to shop use.
Custom Towel Warmer/Radiant Panel
Press a ladder-style stainless or carbon steel loop to serve as a hydronic towel warmer or small radiant panel. Use press elbows and tees to form the rungs; connect to an existing hot-water or radiant circuit.
Geometric Pendant Lighting Arms
Build geometric arms from thin copper tube for pendant or wall lights, pulling low-voltage wire through and pressing joints for crisp geometry without brazing discoloration.
Homebrew/Glycol Chiller Coil
Fabricate a stainless cooling loop and manifolds for a fermentation chamber or kegerator. Pressed stainless joints are sanitary-friendly and fast to assemble compared to silver soldering.
