Rothenberger ROLOCK EPT Set, 1/2-3/4-1' - 12535

Features of the ROLOCK EPT Set

The Rothenberger ROLOCK EPT Set (article code 12535) is a professional solution for creating press connections on copper, stainless steel, and carbon steel pipes. This kit includes three pressing tongs in 1/2, 3/4, and 1 inch sizes, specifically designed to ensure secure and durable connections in plumbing, heating, and gas systems. The EPT (Easy Press Technology) developed by Rothenberger ensures optimal pressing with minimal effort, significantly reducing installation times compared to traditional welding or threading methods.

Technical Advantages and Applications

The ROLOCK system stands out for its versatility and reliability in professional installations. The tongs included in the set are made of special hardened steel, which ensures wear resistance and constant precision even after numerous work cycles. The pressing profile is designed to ensure controlled deformation of the fitting, creating a permanent, watertight joint. This system completely eliminates the risk of leaks and drastically reduces the need for future maintenance.

The applications of the ROLOCK EPT set range from domestic plumbing systems to more complex industrial systems. It is particularly suitable for:

• Installation of new residential and commercial plumbing systems
• Repair and maintenance of existing systems
• Installation of radiator or underfloor heating systems
• Installation of gas distribution lines (with certified fittings)
• Air conditioning and refrigeration systems

Technical Specifications and Contents

The ROLOCK EPT 12535 set includes three pressing tongs with the following characteristics:

• 1/2 inch (15 mm) tong for small diameter pipes
• 3/4 inch (22 mm) tong for medium diameter pipes
• 1 inch (28 mm) tong for large diameter pipes

Each tong is equipped with a locking mechanism that prevents accidental opening during the pressing operation, thus ensuring operator safety and the quality of the final result.
