Milwaukee 49-16-2650x 1/2 in Cts-v Pivoting Press Ring

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE 49-16-2650x is a 1/2 inch CTS-V pivoting press ring designed for use with M18 and M12 FORCE LOGIC press tools. It creates flameless, pressed connections on copper pipe and copper tube-sized (CTS) stainless steel pipe, eliminating the need for sweat or solder. The pivoting design improves access in confined spaces when paired with compatible ring jaw press tools. A built-in press blocking system prevents mismatches between the ring and ring jaw, helping ensure connection integrity on every press.

This press ring is suited for plumbing installations in residential and commercial applications where flameless joining is required or preferred. It is particularly useful in tight spaces, around existing installed pipe runs, and in areas where open flame is restricted. Plumbers and pipefitters working with CTS fittings will find the pivoting action practical for overhead, in-wall, and close-clearance work. When paired with the X3 Ring Jaw for the M12 FORCE LOGIC Press Tool or the X4 Ring Jaw for the M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools, the ring delivers added reach and maneuverability.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber familiar with press-fit joining systems and applicable plumbing codes. Verify that the correct ring jaw is matched to this ring before pressing — the press blocking system assists with this but does not replace visual inspection. Ensure the tool battery is charged and the tool is in proper working order before beginning. Follow all local IPC and applicable code requirements for pressed connection use in potable water and other piping systems.
