Milwaukee 49-16-2658RX 1-3/8″ RLS Pivoting Press Ring M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools

Designed for HVAC/R copper work, the Milwaukee 49-16-2658RX is a 1-3/8″ RLS® pivoting press ring made for M18™ FORCE LOGIC™ Press Tools. It provides a faster, flameless alternative to sweat and solder, helping technicians make consistent copper press connections on larger lineset sizes. The pivoting head improves access around hangers and tight mechanical spaces, while a spring-loaded action helps the ring center on the fitting quickly. A built-in press blocking system helps prevent ring and ring-jaw mismatch, supporting reliable presses on the first attempt.

Built from forged steel for jobsite durability, this RLS press ring is sized for 1-3/8″ fittings commonly found on rooftop units, condensers, and commercial refrigeration systems. Pair it with a compatible Milwaukee Ring Jaw on your M18 FORCE LOGIC tool to standardize copper press work across installs and service calls—without hot-work permits, flux, or lengthy cooldowns.
