Product Description
The Milwaukee 49-16-2658zx is a 1-3/8 inches ZoomLock MAX MaxiPro Pivoting Press Ring built for HVAC and refrigeration professionals who need fast, reliable copper tubing connections without open flame. This forged steel press ring is engineered for use with Milwaukee M18 and M12 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools, making it a core component in modern ACR (air conditioning and refrigeration) installation and service work. The pivoting design sets this ring apart from standard fixed-position press rings. It rotates to give the technician better tool access in confined spaces, tight mechanical chases, wall cavities, and equipment rooms where straight-on access is simply not possible. HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbing professionals working on copper line sets will find this pivoting functionality saves significant time on every job. Traditional sweat and solder connections require a torch, flux, solder, and fire safety precautions. The ZoomLock MAX press ring system eliminates all of that. Connections are made cold, reducing fire risk and speeding up the installation process. For contractors and service techs working in occupied buildings or areas with strict hot-work restrictions, flameless press technology is often the only approved method. The 49-16-2658zx is sized for 1-3/8 inches copper tubing, a common diameter found in larger residential and light commercial refrigerant line sets. It must be paired with a compatible Milwaukee Ring Jaw and an in-line FORCE LOGIC Press Tool to complete the connection. Milwaukee's press blocking system is built in to prevent mismatched ring and jaw combinations, reducing the chance of an incomplete or improper connection in the field. This protection gives installers and inspectors confidence that every pressed joint meets the required standard. The ring weighs 1.61 pounds and is constructed from forged steel for durability under repeated press cycles. A 2-year warranty backs the product against defects.
- Pivoting design allows press connections in tight spaces where standard rings cannot reach
- Flameless copper tubing connection eliminates the need for torch, solder, or flux
- Press blocking system prevents ring and jaw mismatch for consistent, code-quality joints
