Press Tools & Crimp Heads
The pressing process is achieved using press tools with a range of jaw attachments that vary according to the fitting and pipe diameters.
Various types of press tools are commercially available:
- Electromechanical tools, either battery or mains-powered versions (18V or 240 V), may be used for the full range of diameters
- Electrohydraulic tools are used primarily for larger diameters, from 76.1 to 108 mm.
- Hand operated hydraulic tools are also available for critical environments.
The Europress System can be used with a wide variety of press tools provided that these are equipped with Europress approved “M”-profile jaws. Please refer to the technical department to ensure the proposed presstool is suitable for the Europress system.

Improved ergonomics and comfort
Our press tools incorporate a 2-component plastichousing with soft inlay, which gives the feeling of apleasant, secure grip, prevents slipping, and avoidspressure points in the grip area. The optimised centre of gravity makes work effortless – even when continuously assembling overhead joints.
