Get reliable, flame-free connections in seconds with RLS, the original HVAC/R press fittings. Just prep the copper tube ends and then let the battery-powered tool do the work. The RLS patented technology results in two 360° metal-to-metal connections with each press - creating a permanent mechanical joint every time, without the dangers of an open flame and flammable gas. With their proven, unmatched track record of success - including more than 15 million fittings installed worldwide since 2015 - you can count on the dependability of RLS. Plus, RLS-compatible jaws are available for most press tools.
