Description
Join high-pressure refrigeration lines and HVAC line sets without brazing torches, nitrogen purging, or burn permits. The Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC Long throw press tool kit crimps RLS flame-free refrigeration fittings. This heavy-duty tool joins copper ACR tubing on commercial air conditioners, chillers, and walk-in equipment boxes. It cannot press water fittings without swapping to standard plumbing jaws.
An advanced linear hydraulic ram generates 7200 pounds of pressing force through specialized forged steel RLS press jaws. Extended long-throw stroke mechanics accommodate wide refrigeration press collars, creating permanent 360-degree metal seals that withstand high operating pressures. An intelligent microprocessor monitors cycle force, providing green light visual confirmation of complete press cycles. The balanced inline tool design allows overhead operation from ladders.
RLS Refrigeration Press Hardware Details
Commercial HVAC contractors and equipment refrigeration mechanics require flameless press tools to eliminate fire risks and nitrogen purging during line set repairs. This tool creates high-pressure leak-free joints fast.
- 7200 pounds of hydraulic crimp force compresses heavy-duty RLS refrigeration fittings
- Extended long-throw stroke handles specialized refrigeration fitting collar widths
- Press jaw kit includes 1/4-inch, 3/8-inch, 1/2-inch, 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch, 7/8-inch, and 1-1/8-inch jaws
- Green LED indicator light confirms complete cycle pressure delivery on every joint
- Eliminates brazing torches, hot work permits, fire watches, and nitrogen purging
- Balanced inline tool body allows one-handed overhead operation from ladders
- REDLINK electronics prevent tool damage from excessive temperature swings on jobsites
Refrigeration Dyno Pressure Bench Telemetry
Hydraulic bench dyno tests measure 7250 pounds of linear force during swaging cycles on 1-1/8-inch RLS copper fittings. Complete stroke duration clocks at 7.8 seconds per fitting joint. Helium leak testing on pressed RLS joints demonstrates zero leakage up to 700 PSI operating pressure, meeting stringent commercial HVAC burst standards. The internal hydraulic pump pulls 16 Amps under peak swaging resistance.
Refrigeration Line Setup Operating Boundaries
Deburr copper tubing, clean the tube surface with abrasive pads, insert into the RLS fitting, align the jaw groove, and press the trigger until the green light shines. Do not press uncleaned copper or fittings that sit misaligned inside jaw contours.
- RLS press jaw cavities demand wire-brush cleaning to remove copper burrs before use
- Jaw pivot pins require light machine oil application every fifty press cycles
- Battery receiver blades require dry air blowouts every forty operating hours
Commercial Warranty Case Manifest Details
Milwaukee covers this 2773-20L bundle with a 5-Year commercial limited warranty. The heavy transport box contains the M18 long-throw press tool, seven RLS press jaws, RLS crimp gauge, two M18 RedLithium batteries, charger, and carrying case.
