NIBCO INC. announces its first-ever partnership with DEWALT on a 24kN tool and jaw kit that is designed to crimp NIBCO PressACR fittings.

The tool has been optimized for one-handed use and the jaws have a gray galvanized coating to provide corrosion protection. The products will be sold by DEWALT and include the following:

• A tool kit that consists of the press tool (DCE210D2), USB-C cable, shoulder strap, charger and two 20V MAX DCB203 2.0 Ah batteries.

• PressACR jaw kit (DCE214K) which includes one each of the following jaws sizes: ¼", 3/8", ½", 5/8", ¾" and 7/8".

PressACR end connections reduce installation time while the patented interior groove design and HNBR seal make them suitable for high pressure HVACR applications rated up to 700 psi.

“At DEWALT, we are committed to providing the best end-to-end workflow solutions for the heating, cooling, and plumbing trades,” said Justin Burke, senior product manager, DEWALT. “Launching the DEWALT Compact Jaws for NIBCO’s PressACR system is another step in providing world class solutions for the HVACR trades.”

“We’re excited to partner with DEWALT for the first time to bring this 24kN tool and jaw kit, designed for compatibility with our PressACR line, to the market,” said Marilyn Morgan, senior product manager-fittings, NIBCO. “NIBCO’s high-quality PressACR fittings offer contractors a more efficient, reliable solution for high-pressure HVACR installations.”

Made in Stuarts Draft, Virginia, of the highest quality, globally sourced pure copper, PressACR fittings meet stringent certification and compliance standards that support the higher-pressure requirements of HVACR systems.
