Milwaukee M18 1-1/2 In. Black Iron Press Ring
Product Overview
The Milwaukee M18 1-1/2 In. Black Iron Press Ring, model 49-16-2654B, is a professional pipe-joining accessory designed for use with M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools. It provides a more efficient alternative to traditional welding and threading for compatible black iron and stainless-steel pipe installations.
The ring is designed for 1-1/2-inch IPS press-fitting applications and is compatible with Viega MegaPress, Apollo POWERPRESS, and other compatible press-fitting systems. It supports Schedule 5 through Schedule 40 black iron pipe and 304/316 stainless-steel pipe when used with the appropriate fittings.
Its dual-pivot design helps provide access in confined spaces while maintaining uniform pressing force around the fitting. Milwaukee also states that the ring is up to 30% lighter than the leading competitor, helping reduce the weight of the complete press-tool assembly during installation.

Durable construction for professional installation work
Efficient Black Iron Pipe Connections
The 49-16-2654B is designed to simplify the installation of compatible press fittings on 1-1/2-inch IPS black iron and stainless-steel pipe.
Instead of relying on traditional threading or welding equipment, installers can use the press ring with the appropriate M18 FORCE LOGIC press tool and Ring Jaw 1 to form the connection. This makes the system particularly useful for projects where installation speed, accessibility, and flameless joining are important considerations.
Dual-Pivot Design
The ring uses a dual-pivot design that allows it to open and position around the fitting while helping maintain consistent pressing force.
This configuration is particularly useful when working around existing piping or in confined mechanical spaces where access for conventional pipe-joining equipment may be limited.
Designed for Professional Press-Fitting Systems
The 49-16-2654B is intended for use with compatible press fittings rather than being a general-purpose pipe clamp or jaw.
Milwaukee specifically identifies Viega MegaPress fittings and also lists Apollo POWERPRESS and other press-fitting systems as compatible applications. Always verify the fitting manufacturer's requirements and Milwaukee's current compatibility information before installation.
Pipe Material and Schedule
This press ring is designed for compatible:
Black iron pipe
304 stainless-steel pipe
316 stainless-steel pipe
The applicable pipe range is Schedule 5 through Schedule 40, when used with compatible press fittings.
M18 FORCE LOGIC Compatibility
The 49-16-2654B connects to Milwaukee's M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tool platform through the required Ring Jaw 1.
Milwaukee specifically lists compatibility with:
M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tool 2773-20
M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool 2773-20L
Ring Jaw 1
The press ring itself does not include the press tool or Ring Jaw 1.
Flameless Installation
Pressing a compatible fitting eliminates the need for an open flame during the connection process. This provides a controlled alternative to welding and can be advantageous when working around installed equipment or in areas where hot-work procedures are undesirable.
Weight and Handling
Milwaukee states that the 49-16-2654B is up to 30% lighter than the leading competitor. Reducing the weight of the ring can make the overall press-tool assembly easier to handle, particularly during overhead installation or work in restricted spaces.
Typical Applications
The Milwaukee 49-16-2654B can be used for compatible professional applications including:
Commercial plumbing
Mechanical piping
HVAC-related piping
Black iron pipe installation
Stainless-steel pipe installation
Mechanical-room work
Retrofit and replacement projects
Pipe installation in confined spaces
Projects requiring flameless pipe connections
Maintenance and service work
