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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePivoting design provides greater access in tight or confined spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with M18 and M12 FORCE LOGIC press tools using X3 and X4 ring jaws\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePress blocking system prevents ring and ring jaw mismatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreates flameless pressed connections on copper and CTS stainless steel pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates need for sweat soldering, reducing open-flame hazards on the job\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with M18 and M12 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools, including the X3 Ring Jaw M12 FORCE LOGIC Press Tool and the X4 Ring Jaw M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper and CTS Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press (flameless)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pivoting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Tool Platform\u003c\/strong\u003e: M12 and M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MILWAUKEE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 49-16-2650x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MILWAUKEE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51668783235378,"sku":"49-16-2650X","price":381.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/594ddb6c4d294fe6a02d52135ac7e3a2.webp?v=1787951977","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/milwaukee-49-16-2650x-1-2-in-cts-v-pivoting-press-ring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
