Milwaukee 49-16-2655RX 3/4″ RLS Pivoting Press Ring M18 & M12 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools

Built for HVAC/R copper work, the Milwaukee 49-16-2655RX is a 3/4″ RLS® pivoting press ring that helps crews make clean, flameless copper 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. Manufactured from forged steel for daily jobsite use, 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.

Press technology saves time and avoids the variables of sweating and soldering—especially in occupied buildings. The 49-16-2655RX focuses those gains on 3/4″ RLS fittings with a pivoting design that reaches around obstructions and a spring-loaded action that helps seat the ring fast. Paired with an M18 or M12 FORCE LOGIC press tool and the appropriate Milwaukee Ring Jaw, crews get controlled, repeatable presses without fire watch or lengthy cooldowns. The press blocking system supports correct setups before each pull of the trigger, and the forged-steel body stands up to daily rooftop and mechanical-room work.

Why Customers Choose the Milwaukee 3/4″ 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 ring reaches around hangers and 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 3/4″ RLS work, it keeps copper pressing consistent and efficient from rooftop installs to quick service calls.
