Designed for NIBCO 3-Inch Copper Press Fittings
This ring is purpose-built for NIBCO 3-inch copper press fittings. It provides the appropriate interface between the fitting and Milwaukee's M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool, allowing the press tool to form the connection without conventional soldering or sweating.
Because press-ring profiles are application-specific, this model should be used only with fittings and equipment identified as compatible by Milwaukee and NIBCO.
Pivoting Design for Tight Spaces
Working around existing piping can make traditional installation methods difficult. The pivoting functionality of this ring gives installers greater flexibility when positioning the ring around a fitting.
Milwaukee designed the ring and Long Throw Press Tool combination to improve access in tight applications and around installed pipes, making it useful for repair, retrofit, and installation work where working clearance is limited.
X6 Ring Jaw Compatibility
The 3-inch NIBCO Press Ring is designed to be used with the X6 Ring Jaw. The ring and jaw work together with the M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool to apply the required pressing force to the fitting.
The press-blocking system is another important part of the Milwaukee system. It is designed to help prevent an incompatible ring and ring-jaw combination from being used, helping reduce the possibility of an incorrect setup.
Spring-Loaded Alignment
A spring-loaded ring mechanism helps make positioning the ring around the fitting more convenient. This can be particularly useful when working in confined areas where aligning a large press ring manually may otherwise be difficult.
Once properly positioned, the compatible press tool and ring assembly can be used to complete the connection according to the fitting manufacturer's installation requirements.
Faster Alternative to Sweat and Solder
For compatible NIBCO copper press systems, this Milwaukee ring provides a flameless alternative to sweat-and-solder connections. Pressing eliminates the need for an open flame during the connection process and can help streamline installation work.
The approach is particularly useful in applications where controlled, repeatable press connections are preferred or where hot-work procedures make soldering less convenient.
Durable Steel Construction
The ring is manufactured from steel and weighs approximately 9.29 lb. Its construction is intended for repeated professional use with the specified Milwaukee press system.
Typical Applications
The Milwaukee 3 Inch NIBCO Press Ring is suitable for professional applications such as:
Commercial plumbing installation
Copper piping installation
Plumbing repairs and retrofits
Mechanical-room piping work
Building maintenance
Pipe replacement projects
Tight-access plumbing applications
NIBCO copper press-fitting installations
Always confirm the fitting manufacturer's requirements and Milwaukee's current compatibility information before use.
Compatibility
Compatible Equipment
Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool
Milwaukee X6 Ring Jaw
Intended Fitting System
NIBCO 3-inch Copper Press Fittings
The ring should not be assumed to be interchangeable with other 3-inch fitting profiles simply because the pipe diameter is the same. Milwaukee offers separate rings for different fitting systems, including IPS and CTS-V applications.
Package Contents
The individual product is:
1 × Milwaukee 3" NIBCO Press Ring
Model 49-16-2657NX
The M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool and X6 Ring Jaw are required separately and are not part of the individual ring package unless specifically included by the seller.
Milwaukee also offers a 2-1/2"–4" NIBCO Press Ring Kit, model 49-16-2690NX, which includes the 2-1/2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch NIBCO rings.
Important Compatibility Note
The 49-16-2657NX is specifically a NIBCO press ring, not a universal 3-inch press ring. Milwaukee also produces different 3-inch rings for other fitting systems, including the 3" IPS-Pr2 Press Ring (49-16-2657B) and 3" CTS-V Pivoting Press Ring (49-16-2657X). These products are designed for different fitting applications and should not be substituted solely based on nominal pipe size.
Before purchasing, verify that your fitting is a compatible NIBCO 3-inch Copper Press Fitting and that you have the appropriate M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool and X6 Ring Jaw.
Safety and Installation Notes
Pressing equipment should be operated according to Milwaukee's instructions and the fitting manufacturer's installation requirements.
Use the ring only for its specified fitting application.
Inspect the ring and jaw components before use.
Confirm that the correct X6 Ring Jaw is installed.
Do not force the ring onto an incompatible fitting.
Keep hands clear of the pressing area during operation.
Follow NIBCO's required preparation and installation procedures.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment for the work environment.
