Patent ID: 8490261

Claim:
A pressing tool for the pressing of a press fitting onto a pipe, said press fitting having a bead encircling said press fitting and a pipe-insert side, said pipe-insert side defining an end face of the press fitting, said pressing tool comprising: at least two pressing jaws having a first pressing geometry forming a bead pressing portion and a second pressing geometry spaced apart axially from said first pressing geometry forming a cone pressing portion, said second pressing geometry preventing a pressed combination of the press fitting and the pipe from being pulled off one another, the second pressing geometry being formed only on the pipe-insert side of the bead with respect to the combination of the press fitting and, the pipe; an engaging member engaging the end face of the press fitting for axially aligning the pressing tool with the press fitting, said second pressing geometry of said at least one pressing jaws provided between said engaging member and said respective first pressing geometry; and the first pressing geometry causing the axial widening of the bead during pressing.
