Milwaukee's current product page confirms the 1-1/4-inch capacity, model number, Isotubi USA compatibility, and Schedule 5/10 stainless-steel application. Milwaukee's IPS-IA product family also identifies 49-16-2653S as the 1-1/4-inch ring.
Designed for Isotubi USA Stainless Steel Fittings
The 49-16-2653S is not a universal 1-1/4-inch press ring. It is specifically designed for Isotubi USA stainless steel fittings.
The IPS-IA system supports press connections on Schedule 5 and Schedule 10 Type 304/304L and 316/316L stainless steel piping. This application-specific design helps ensure that the ring is matched to the fitting system for which it was developed.
1-1/4-Inch Press Capacity
With a 1-1/4-inch capacity, this ring provides a dedicated tooling option for the corresponding IPS-IA stainless-steel piping size.
Milwaukee offers additional IPS-IA sizes within the same product family, including 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch, 1-1/2-inch, and 2-inch configurations. The 49-16-2653S specifically corresponds to the 1-1/4-inch IPS-IAr1 size.
Two-Hinge Design for Close Quarters
The ring uses a two-hinge design intended to provide quality press connections where available working space is limited.
This configuration is particularly useful for professional installers working around existing piping, equipment, or other obstacles. When paired with compatible M18 FORCE LOGIC tooling, the IPS-IA system is designed to provide access in tight spaces and around installed pipes.
Controlled, Flameless Connections
The IPS-IA system provides a press-based alternative to welding and threading for compatible stainless-steel piping applications.
Because the connection is made using pressing equipment rather than an open flame, the system provides a controlled, flameless installation method. Milwaukee describes the IPS-IA tooling as enabling secure joints in one cycle when used with the specified fittings and press tools.
Durable Steel Construction
The press ring is built with durable steel construction for professional press-tool applications. Milwaukee specifically highlights the durability of its steel rings and ring jaws as part of the IPS-IA system.
The ring should nevertheless be inspected regularly and replaced if damaged, excessively worn, or otherwise unsuitable for continued service.
Compatible M18 FORCE LOGIC Tooling
The 49-16-2653S is designed for use with M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools. Milwaukee's IPS-IA system includes both direct press jaws for smaller sizes and ring-based tooling for larger sizes.
For the 1-1/4-inch IPS-IA ring, the appropriate Ring Jaw 1 is required. Milwaukee identifies 49-16-2659 as Ring Jaw 1, while 49-16-2659S is Ring Jaw 2 for the smaller 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch IPS-IA ring sizes.
Typical Applications
The Milwaukee 1-1/4" IPS-IAr1 Press Ring is suited to professional applications involving compatible stainless-steel press systems, including:
Stainless steel piping installation
Commercial mechanical piping
Industrial piping work
HVAC and mechanical installations
Plumbing installation and maintenance
Equipment-room piping
Retrofit projects
Maintenance and repair work
Tight-access stainless-steel pipe connections
The actual suitability of a particular installation depends on the pipe, fitting system, pressure, temperature, and applicable installation requirements.

Package Contents
The individual product contains:
1 × Milwaukee 1-1/4" IPS-IAr1 Press Ring
Model 49-16-2653S
The compatible Ring Jaw 1 and M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tool are sold separately unless a particular retailer listing explicitly states that they are included.
For users who need several stainless-steel sizes, Milwaukee offers the 1-1/4"–2" IPS-IA Press Ring Kit, model 49-16-2691S. That kit includes the 1-1/4-inch 49-16-2653S ring, 1-1/2-inch and 2-inch rings, Ring Jaw 1, Ring Jaw 2, and a carrying case.
Important Compatibility Note
The 49-16-2653S should not be selected solely because the pipe measures 1-1/4 inches. Milwaukee manufactures several different press-ring systems for different fitting profiles and materials.
For example:
49-16-2653S — 1-1/4" IPS-IAr1 for Isotubi USA stainless steel fittings
49-16-2653B — 1-1/4" IPS-Pr1 for other compatible IPS press-fitting systems
49-16-2653 — 1-1/4" CTS-V tooling for copper/CTS applications
These tooling systems are not automatically interchangeable. The fitting manufacturer, pipe material, fitting profile, ring, and press tool must all be compatible before making a connection.
Safety and Installation Notes
This accessory is intended for professional press-tool applications and should be used according to Milwaukee's instructions and the fitting manufacturer's installation requirements.
Confirm the correct fitting and pipe material before pressing.
Verify that the 1-1/4-inch IPS-IA ring is the correct tooling for the fitting.
Use the appropriate Ring Jaw 1.
Inspect the ring and jaw for damage or excessive wear before use.
Keep hands away from the pressing area during operation.
Do not force the ring onto an incompatible fitting.
Follow the applicable Milwaukee and fitting-manufacturer installation procedures.
Do not substitute another press ring simply because it has the same nominal pipe size.
