Milwaukee Tool 49-16-2456M Press Jaw 7/8 Inch Copper

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 49-16-2456M is a replacement press jaw designed for use with compatible Milwaukee press tools when making copper pipe and tubing connections using press fittings. This jaw is sized for 7/8 inch pipe and delivers the mechanical force required to create a secure, leak-free press connection without soldering or open flame. It is a direct replacement component for technicians who need to restore a press tool to full working condition. Plumbers and HVAC technicians working with copper press systems rely on properly functioning jaws to maintain consistent, code-compliant connections on residential and light commercial piping systems.

This press jaw is intended for use with copper pipe and tubing at the 7/8 inch size in press fitting applications. It is suited for plumbing and HVAC piping installations where press connection technology is specified or preferred over soldered joints. Typical install scenarios include new construction rough-in, retrofits in occupied spaces where torch use is restricted, and repair work on copper refrigerant or water distribution lines that require fast, repeatable connections.

Installation Notes

Press jaw replacement and press fitting work should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician familiar with press connection tools and local plumbing codes. Before servicing or changing press tool jaws, ensure the tool is powered down and disconnected from any power source. Always verify that the jaw size matches the pipe outside diameter and fitting specification before pressing. Follow the press fitting manufacturer instructions and applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for inspection and testing after completing press connections.
