Milwaukee — Sept. 8, 2014 – Milwaukee Tool redefines productivity for plumbers and mechanical contractors with the expansion of their Force Logic Press line to include solutions for pressing Black Pipe.
Increasing the versatility of the M18 Force Logic Press Tool, Milwaukee’s new Black Iron Press Jaws and Rings deliver a faster alternative to threading, roll grooving and welding half-inch to 2-inch Schedule 5-40 Black Iron Pipe.
“In this competitive market, plumbers and mechanical contractors continue to gravitate toward press connections to enhance productivity and profitability as the technology saves time, provides more consistent connections, and has the ability to work on a wet system,” says Paige Bovard, product manager for Milwaukee Tool.
“With the addition of the new jaws and rings, compatible with the M18 Force Logic Press Tool, Milwaukee is proud to offer the broadest press solution available in the lightest overall package, with the best access around installed pipes in the market.”
Milwaukee’s M18 Black Iron Press Jaws can be used to connect half-inch to 1-inch Schedule 5-40 Black Iron Pipe, a material that can significantly lower the overall cost of install. When used in conjunction with the M18 Force Logic Press Tool, they can easily be opened using just one thumb, delivering the only system on the market that is optimized for one-handed operation.
Milwaukee’s M18 Black Iron Press Rings can be used for up to 2-inch Schedule 5-40 Black Iron Pipe, and feature a unique dual-pivot design to provide superior close-quarter access when working near walls and between installed pipes.
The rings are up to 30 percent lighter than the leading competitor's, which helps to reduce user fatigue in overhead applications.
The expansion of the Force Logic Press tool line is an example of Milwaukee’s unwavering commitment to deliver innovative solutions that help plumbers and mechanical contractors improve productivity throughout their day. Milwaukee offers the most complete press system on the market, and the only cordless solution that gives the user the option to cut, fasten, and connect on one battery platform.
