Milwaukee M18 2 In. Black Iron Press Ring – 49-16-2655B
Product Overview
The Milwaukee M18 2 In. Black Iron Press Ring (49-16-2655B) is a professional press accessory designed for making connections on compatible 2-inch black iron piping without traditional welding, threading, or roll grooving. The ring is designed for use with Viega MegaPress fittings and compatible M18 FORCE LOGIC press tools.
Its dual-pivot construction provides improved access in close quarters while helping deliver uniform pressing force around the fitting. When paired with the correct Ring Jaw 1 and compatible M18 FORCE LOGIC press tool, the system creates a controlled, flameless connection process.

Dual-pivot design improves access in tight working areas.
Helps provide uniform pressing force around the fitting.
Provides a faster alternative to traditional threading and roll grooving.

Designed for Black Iron Press Connections
The 49-16-2655B is specifically designed for 2-inch IPS black iron applications using compatible press fittings. Milwaukee identifies it for use with Viega MegaPress fittings and describes it as an alternative to conventional threading and roll-grooving methods.
The press-ring system allows contractors to create connections using a controlled pressing process rather than relying on hot work or traditional pipe-threading equipment.
Dual-Pivot Design for Close Quarters
One of the main advantages of this press ring is its dual-pivot design. The articulated ring construction is intended to provide better access when working around existing pipe, equipment, walls, and other obstacles.
This makes the ring particularly useful for retrofit, repair, and mechanical installations where there may not be enough room to position conventional equipment comfortably. Milwaukee also states that the design provides uniform pressing force around the connection.
Compatible M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tools
The 49-16-2655B is designed for use with Milwaukee's M18 FORCE LOGIC platform. Milwaukee specifies compatibility with:
M18 FORCE LOGIC Press Tool – 2773-20
M18 FORCE LOGIC Long Throw Press Tool – 2773-20L
The ring must be used with the appropriate Ring Jaw 1. The press tool and ring jaw are separate components and are not included with the individual 49-16-2655B press ring.
Faster Alternative to Traditional Pipe Joining
For compatible press-fitting systems, the 49-16-2655B provides an alternative to conventional threading and roll grooving. Pressing can help simplify installation by reducing the need for traditional pipe-preparation equipment.
Because the FORCE LOGIC system creates a controlled, flameless connection, it can also be advantageous in applications where minimizing hot work is important.
Lightweight, Durable Construction
Milwaukee states that the black iron press-ring design is up to 30% lighter than the leading competitor, helping reduce the handling burden for technicians working with larger press accessories.
The ring is constructed for repeated professional use and is backed by a 2-year jaw warranty.

Important Product Note
The 49-16-2655B is not a complete press-tool kit. It is the 2-inch IPS-Pr1 press ring only and must be paired with Ring Jaw 1 and a compatible M18 FORCE LOGIC press tool.

The 49-16-2655BX is a different pivoting ring configuration designed for use with an X5 Ring Jaw and supports major fitting brands including Viega MegaPress and Apollo PowerPress.
