Milwaukee's current product page identifies model 49-16-2657BX as the 3-inch IPS-P Pivoting Press Ring for the M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool.
Designed for 3-Inch IPS Piping
The 49-16-2657BX is specifically intended for 3-inch Iron Pipe Size (IPS) applications. Milwaukee states that the ring can be used on Schedule 5 through Schedule 40 black iron pipe as well as 304/316 stainless steel pipe when used with the appropriate press-fitting system.
This makes the ring suitable for a range of professional mechanical and piping installations where a press connection is preferred over threaded or welded joints.
Pivoting Design for Tight Applications
Access can be one of the biggest challenges when working on existing piping. The ring's pivoting functionality allows it to be positioned more easily around fittings in restricted spaces.
When combined with the in-line M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool and X6 Ring Jaw, the system is designed to provide greater access around installed pipes and in tight work areas.
Press-Blocking System
Milwaukee incorporates a press-blocking system to help prevent an improper ring and ring-jaw combination from being used together.
The ring and compatible jaw are designed as a matched system, helping installers identify the correct pairing before making a press connection. Milwaukee also provides markings on its rings and ring jaws to aid identification.
Spring-Loaded and Easy-Opening Design
The spring-loaded ring is designed to make alignment with the fitting quicker and easier. Its easy-opening configuration also helps with positioning the ring around the pipe and fitting during installation.
These features are especially useful when working in confined areas where there is limited room to manipulate larger press-tool accessories.
Flameless Alternative to Welding and Threading
For compatible press-fitting systems, the IPS-P ring offers an alternative to traditional welding and threading. The press connection process does not require an open flame, making it useful for applications where controlled, flameless installation is preferred.
Milwaukee positions the IPS-P system as a productivity-focused solution for making steel and stainless steel press connections while reducing reliance on conventional hot-work installation methods.
Compatible Fitting Systems
Milwaukee identifies the IPS-P system as being compatible with major fitting brands, including:
Viega MegaPress
Apollo PowerPress
Other compatible IPS press-fitting systems
Always verify the exact fitting manufacturer's compatibility requirements before installation. A 3-inch nominal pipe size alone does not mean that every 3-inch press ring or fitting profile is interchangeable.

The Milwaukee 3 Inch IPS-P Pivoting Press Ring is well suited for professional applications such as:
Commercial mechanical piping
Black iron pipe installation
Stainless steel piping installation
HVAC and mechanical-room work
Industrial piping projects
Plumbing and pipe repairs
Retrofit installations
Maintenance on existing piping systems
Tight-access pipe connections
Projects where flameless press connections are preferred

These accessories are designed for different fitting systems and should not be substituted simply because they share the same nominal 3-inch size.
Safety and Installation Notes
Use the press ring only with the specified Milwaukee press tool, compatible ring jaw, and approved fitting system.
Verify the pipe, fitting, ring, and jaw are compatible before pressing.
Inspect the ring and jaw for damage or excessive wear before use.
Make sure the ring is correctly positioned around the fitting.
Keep hands clear of the pressing area during operation.
Follow Milwaukee's operating instructions and the fitting manufacturer's installation requirements.
Do not use this IPS-P ring for fittings or pipe types outside its specified application.
