Electric Soldering Gun  
The safer, flameless alternative to torches –  
The new RT-175 Electric Soldering Gun is a lightweight, rugged electric  
soldering gun that sweats joints on copper tube up to 3″. The RT-175 will  
operate on a standard 115V, 15 AMP outlet. There is no open flame to  
worry about igniting wallboard, insulation, or studs and joists in the walls.  
Simply place the carbon tips on the copper fitting and remove when  
the solder begins to flow.  
Safe. There is no open flame to be concerned with –  
the pipe and fitting are heated through resistance  
heating. The RT-175 will reach temperatures that will  
melt all solder, including the 95/5, lead-free types.  
Fast. The RT-175 carbon tips surround the fitting and  
deliver heat more evenly to the joint. The fact that the  
heat is delivered in a uniform fashion increases the probability  
of a perfect joint every time. In less than 30 seconds, with a  
minimum of effort, a joint can be completed.  
Versatile. The RT-175 has two power settings that allow better  
control of the heat applied to the joint. This feature will help  
prevent overheating smaller diameter tubes, yet deliver enough  
power to melt solder in 3joints.  
Easy To Operate. The RT-175 operates on a continuous cycle so  
there is no need to turn the unit on and off. Simply turn the unit on  
and wait for the solder to flow. Also, smaller openings have to be  
made in the wall to make repairs.  
All these features and more, combined with RIDGID quality, make the  
RT-175 the choice for all your soldering applications.
