Milwaukee Tool 49-16-2452M Press Jaw 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-16-2452M is a replacement press jaw designed for use with compatible Milwaukee press tools to create secure, leak-free connections on copper pipe and tubing using press fittings. Built for 3/8 inch pipe capacity, this jaw delivers consistent pressing performance in tight plumbing installations where soldering is impractical or code-restricted. It is a direct replacement jaw that fits into the press tool body, allowing technicians to swap jaw sizes on the job without carrying multiple dedicated tools. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems are the primary installers of this component.

This press jaw is suited for copper pipe and tubing applications requiring 3/8 inch press fitting connections. It is commonly used in potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and refrigerant-rated tubing runs where press technology is approved. The jaw is sold as a single replacement unit, making it practical for replacing worn or damaged jaws without purchasing a full jaw set.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with press fitting systems and the tool manufacturer's operating procedures. Depressurize and drain the pipe system before making any press connections, and follow all applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for press fitting use. Inspect the jaw for wear or damage before each use, and replace immediately if deformation is observed. Always follow the press tool manufacturer's jaw installation and release procedures to avoid injury.
