ridgid pureflow jaws on milwaukee 18V press tool?

archibald tuttle

I've been using the 1/2 through 1" successfully. I have a job where I need to crimp some 1.5" pex and I believe the jaws in the Veiga catalogue are the ridgid product. Viega 56081 (Ridgid 22678)

The principal difference appears to be the shape of the cam at the base of the jaws that engages the rollers on the tool. Has anyone had any experience crossing these jaws and tools. I love the for milwaukee tool format but don't know why they haven't cottoned to the need for pureflow jaws yet. I'll bust their chops at the next STAFDA show. Meantime any reports on field experiences/testing appreciated.

Yeah lots of guys on FB and IG doing "cross-platforming" Milwaukee has some compatibility charts too that indicate the use of Ridgid jaws on their tool.
https://www.milwaukeetool.com/~/media/PDFs/Dust Extraction/Milwaukee Compatibility Matrix

pp1 is the fittings chart
pp2 is the jaw chart

It is dated but I'm sure it's still relevant.

hilly, thanks, that chart confirms my milwaukee model compatability with ridgid 1 1/2" pureflow jaw.

i did some googling and i had calls in to my friends at milwaukee but that just plain answers the question.

thank you.
