Milwaukee 49-16-2650RX 1/4″ RLS Pivoting Press Ring M18 & M12 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools

Built for HVAC/R copper work, the Milwaukee 49-16-2650RX is a 1/4″ RLS® pivoting press ring that makes clean, flameless connections in tight spaces. The pivoting head improves access around coils, hangers, and crowded racks, while a spring-loaded action helps the ring seat quickly on the fitting. Milwaukee’s press blocking system helps prevent ring/jaw mismatch before the press, supporting consistent results on linesets and refrigeration piping. Made from forged steel for long service life, this ring works with M18™ and M12™ FORCE LOGIC™ press tools when paired with the correct Milwaukee Ring Jaw (X4 for M18, X3 for M12). By replacing sweat and solder, technicians reduce hot-work steps, speed change-outs, and keep jobs moving on rooftops, in equipment rooms, and during service calls.

Why Customers Choose the Milwaukee 1/4″ RLS Pivoting Press Ring M18 & M12 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools

Crews pick this ring because it delivers flameless copper press connections where torches slow the job or aren’t allowed. The pivoting press ring reaches into tight equipment bays, and the spring-loaded alignment helps seat cleanly on the fitting. With the right ring jaw, it works on an M18 or M12 FORCE LOGIC press tool, so technicians can stay on the platform they already carry. For everyday 1/4″ RLS work, it keeps copper pressing consistent and efficient from rooftop installs to quick service calls.
