Rapid Locking System (RLS) has introduced the RLS Powered by REMS Press Ring Kit, designed to improve installation access, speed, and safety for HVACR applications.

The press ring kits allow contractors to use press-to-connect fittings in tight spaces where traditional brazing or standard press tool jaws may not fit, helping address common installation challenges in confined environments.

Key Features and Specifications:

  • Works with RLS 24kN and 32kN press tools;
  • Made from specially hardened steel for extended service life;
  • Flameless press connections as an alternative to brazing; and
  • Pivoting press ring for improved access in tight-clearance applications.

The kits feature a pivoting ring design that is the perfect solution for tight-clearance applications. Difficult install locations, such as behind units, in hard to maneuver mechanical rooms, and the limited mobility of a ceiling space, can all be made manageable with the REMS Press Ring Kits.  

The RLS Powered by REMS Press Ring Kit is designed to help contractors complete installations more efficiently while maintaining connection reliability in space-constrained applications.
