Hand-Operated Hydraulic Axial Press Tool

Hand-Operated Hydraulic Axial Press Tool — Expand 16–32 mm Pipe with Hydraulic Power, No Battery

The hand-operated hydraulic axial press tool combines the muscle of hydraulics with the simplicity of a hand tool. It expands pipe from 16 to 32 mm diameter using a small hydraulic pump built into the tool — no electricity, no battery and no compressed air required, yet with the smooth, powerful stroke that manual-only tools cannot match.

Expanding Range and Moulds

• Expanding range: 16–32 mm diameter.
• Supplied moulds: 16×2.2, 20×2.8, 25×3.5 and 32×4.4 to match common PEX wall thicknesses.
• Gross weight 8.0 kg — a robust tool that stays planted while you pump.
• Hydraulic advantage: each stroke multiplies your effort, so large diameters expand without strain.

Where Hydraulic Manual Beats Battery

On long expansion runs the hydraulic tool's smooth, controlled stroke is easier on the operator than repetitive mechanical action, and there is nothing to run out of power. It suits service vans that avoid battery systems, contractors working in remote or export markets, and anyone who wants one reliable tool for 16–32 mm PEX expansion.

Quality and Assurance

Heat-treated alloy construction with precision-ground moulds and 100% pre-shipment testing. Backed by factory-direct support and the standard two-year warranty. Contact us for additional mould sizes or distributor pricing.

How the Hydraulic Mechanism Helps

The inbuilt hydraulic pump multiplies each handle stroke, so expanding a 32 mm PEX fitting takes far less effort than a purely mechanical tool. Pump until the stroke bottoms out, hold briefly, and the mould releases — the hydraulic action gives a smoother, more controlled expansion that reduces the risk of splitting the fitting mouth.

The tool ships with the 16, 20, 25 and 32 mm moulds, is 100% function-tested before dispatch, and is backed by factory-direct spare mould availability. It is a dependable, no-power choice for service vans, remote sites and export markets where battery tools are impractical.
