Rapid Locking System Europe operates as a subsidiary of Rapid Locking System USA LLC. RLS LLC is the pioneering force behind the development, design, patenting, and engineering of the world’s first press-to-connect fittings for the HVAC and refrigeration industries. These innovative fittings were introduced to the market in 2015 following years of dedicated research and development.
Flame-Free
RLS Press Fittings take the danger of an open flame out of the workplace, creating a safer work environment with no fire hazards. That means there’s no need for hot work permits, fire spotters or fire-related safety equipment. No brazing also means no need to nitrogen purge, and no need to transport gas and other brazing equipment to the job site.
Plus, as the use of flammable refrigerants in the HVAC and refrigeration industries continues to increase, the safety of flame-free RLS Press Fittings will become even more important.
Faster and Easier
RLS Press Fittings let you make a permanent and reliable mechanical connection in just 10 seconds, without the need for brazing. That means significant time and cost savings. In fact, eliminating the brazing step means installation goes up to 60% faster!
Tube ends are prepped in nearly the same way as brazing, but the press tool does all the connection work for you in just seconds. You not only eliminate the time-consuming brazing process, but also the time and effort of hauling heavy brazing equipment from job to job. Just watch this quick video to see how fast and easy it is to make an RLS connection.
Safer Working
RLS Press Fittings eliminate the need for open flames in HVAC workspaces, thereby creating a safer working environment without fire hazards. This means that hot work permits, fire spotters, and fire-related safety equipment are no longer necessary. The absence of brazing also eliminates the need for nitrogen purging of new lines and transporting gas and brazing equipment to job sites.
Time and cost savings
As the use of flammable refrigerants continues to rise in the HVAC and refrigeration sectors, the safety provided by flame-free RLS Press Fittings becomes increasingly crucial. Furthermore, transitioning from brazing to RLS Press Fittings can result in significant time and cost savings, greatly enhancing productivity. The elimination of the brazing process allows for installations to be completed up to 60% faster.
The one to trust
With over 15 million RLS fittings installed worldwide and more than 8 years of successful field usage, RLS stands as the sole line of press-to-connect fittings proven to withstand the rigors of high-pressure HVAC/R applications.
RLS LLC is a subsidiary of Marmon Holdings, Inc., a company under the Berkshire Hathaway umbrella. Marmon is a global industrial conglomerate comprising 11 groups and over 100 independent businesses, boasting an annual revenue of $10 billion.
