Rothenberger - Compact Jaw R16 for pressing tool - 015371X

Features of the Rothenberger Compact R16 Jaw

The Compact R16 Jaw (item code 015371X) is an essential component in the Rothenberger range of pressing equipment. Designed specifically for pressing systems with a 16 mm diameter, this jaw stands out for its robust construction made of high-quality steel, ensuring strength and durability over time even under intensive working conditions. The precise geometry of the jaw ensures reliable joints that comply with industry standards, minimizing the risk of leaks or malfunctions in hydraulic installations.

Compatibility and Versatility

The Compact R16 Jaw has been developed to integrate perfectly with Rothenberger Compact series press tools, including the Romax Compact and Romax Compact TT models. This extended compatibility makes it a versatile tool for professionals using various pressing machines. The jaw is specifically calibrated to work with 16 mm R-profile pipes and fittings, commonly used in plumbing, heating, and sanitary systems. Its dimensional precision guarantees perfectly sealed joints, which are fundamental for preventing leaks and ensuring the longevity of systems.

Technical and Practical Advantages

Among the main strengths of the Compact R16 Jaw are its ergonomic design, which facilitates handling even in confined spaces or hard-to-reach positions. Its low weight, while maintaining excellent resistance characteristics, reduces fatigue during prolonged use. The quick-attach mechanism to the press tool allows for rapid changes between different jaws, optimizing working times on construction sites where it is necessary to work on pipes of various diameters. The high-quality surface finish prevents residue adhesion and facilitates cleaning after use, extending the tool's lifespan.

Main Applications

The Compact R16 Jaw is used in numerous professional contexts:

• Installation of residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Construction of radiator heating systems
• Assembly of underfloor heating systems
• Installation of domestic hot water systems
• Maintenance and repair of existing systems
• Construction of small and medium-sized industrial plants

Technical Specifications

The jaw is made of special heat-treated steel to ensure abrasion resistance and maintain dimensional precision even after intensive use. The internal profile is designed according to R system standards, ensuring compatibility with major pipe and fitting manufacturers on the market. The pressing force, when used with appropriate Rothenberger machines, reaches optimal values to create permanent and reliable joints. The protective coating prevents corrosion and ensures a long product life even in humid working environments or those exposed to aggressive agents.

Maintenance and Care

To keep the Compact R16 Jaw in optimal condition, Rothenberger recommends regular cleaning after each use, removing any material residue or dirt. It is also advisable to periodically apply a thin layer of lubricant to the articulation points to ensure smooth movements. The jaw should be stored in a dry environment, preferably in its original case or a protective container, to avoid accidental impacts that could compromise its precision. Periodic calibration checks, especially after intensive use, ensure that performance remains consistent over time.
