10T Hydraulic Pipe Crimping Tool with 4 M-Profile Dies M15 M18 M22 M28 360 Rotating Head for Compatible Metric Stainless Steel Press Fittings

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pipes can this hydraulic crimper handle?

This hydraulic crimper includes four interchangeable dies: M15, M18, M22 and M28. These dies are intended for compatible metric M-profile press-fitting systems, particularly matching thin-walled stainless steel applications. Please note that die sizes refer to the specified metric fitting system and do not necessarily correspond to Australian nominal copper pipe sizes (DN). Always confirm the fitting profile, dimensions and manufacturer requirements before purchase.

How much crimping force does this tool apply?

The hydraulic crimper provides up to 10 tonnes of crimping force, helping reduce manual effort compared with non-hydraulic hand tools. The hydraulic mechanism supports controlled crimping operations when used with compatible dies and fittings. Crimping force alone does not guarantee compatibility with every press-fitting system.

Is this tool suitable for Australian plumbing standards and materials?

This tool is not universally compatible with Australian plumbing press-fitting systems. The included M15, M18, M22 and M28 dies are intended for compatible metric M-profile fittings, while many Australian copper press-fitting systems use V-profile jaws and Australian nominal pipe sizes (DN).

Important: M-profile and V-profile dies are not interchangeable. Compatibility with a particular pipe material or fitting system does not automatically establish compliance with Australian plumbing requirements. Before purchasing, please check the fitting manufacturer's specified profile, size and approved tooling. Do not use the tool for regulated plumbing installations unless the complete tool, die and fitting combination has been confirmed as suitable for the intended application.

Can I use this in tight spaces or awkward angles?

Yes. The 360° rotating head allows flexible positioning, making it easier to access fittings in confined or awkward working areas. This feature helps improve convenience when working around obstacles or in locations with limited access, provided there is sufficient clearance for safe tool operation.

What's your return policy if the tool doesn't suit my needs?

Yarra Supply offers a 30-day returns policy, subject to the applicable return conditions. We strongly recommend confirming your fitting profile and dimensions before purchasing to avoid compatibility issues. If you receive an incorrect or defective product, or the item does not match its description, please contact our customer service team for assistance. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected by our store returns policy.

How difficult is it to change the dies and set up for different pipe sizes?

The interchangeable die design makes setup straightforward. Open the crimping head, select the appropriate die (M15, M18, M22 or M28), and securely install it according to the tool instructions. Each die is marked with its size for easy identification.

Before crimping: Ensure the selected die matches the required fitting profile and size, and confirm that the tool is approved or verified for the intended fitting system. Do not force an incompatible die onto a fitting or attempt to crimp fittings that do not match the specified profile.
