RLS: The Original HVAC/R Press-to-Connect Fittings

RLS manufactures the original, patented, proven press-to-connect fittings for high-pressure HVAC/R applications. These are the same fittings that have been in widespread use – and UL listed to 700 PSI – since 2015. RLS fittings create permanent mechanical joints in just 10 seconds, without brazing. That means no flame, no fire hazards, no hot work permits, no fire spotters, no nitrogen purging and no hauling brazing equipment to the jobsite. More info
