Air conditioning and refrigeration professionals are the quiet force behind comfortable homes, safe hospitals, and always-on data centers. At RLS, we believe supporting the trades means more than manufacturing innovative products. Instead, it is providing the technology, training and support contractors need to succeed.
Built Exclusively for ACR Installers
RLS developed its patented press-to-connect technology exclusively for air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Every fitting is engineered to meet the unique demands of refrigerant applications, including high operating pressures, vibration, thermal cycling, and compatibility with today’s modern refrigerants, including A2L refrigerants. RLS press system is designed specifically for ACR installers, helping them to solve the challenges they encounter every day while delivering safe, reliable, flame-free connections.
Success on the jobsite is about more than great engineering. Today’s contractors are under constant pressure to complete projects efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality. By eliminating open-flame brazing, RLS helps reduce fire risks, simplifies installations in sensitive environments, and allows technicians to complete permanent connections efficiently. No hot work permits or fire watches to complete their jobs. Mark Jones, General Manager of RLS Europe, explores these benefits in greater detail in “The Case for ACR Press Fittings Has Never Been Stronger.”
Investing in Training & Education
Supporting the trades also means investing in the people behind every installation. We know that the best technology performs at its highest level only when it is used correctly.
Through its online certification program and instructor-led demonstrations, RLS equips technicians with the knowledge needed to install the complete press system with confidence. Training covers proper tube preparation, compatible tools and jaws, correct pressing techniques, and installation best practices to help ensure every connection meets the high standards contractors expect. This commitment to education supports safer installations, improved system performance, and fewer callbacks—benefiting both contractors and their customers.
Beyond formal training, RLS actively supports the air conditioning and refrigeration community by bringing education directly to the field. From distributor events and roadshows to industry trade shows and on-site demonstrations, the company provides opportunities for technicians to gain hands-on experience with the technology and ask questions directly to product experts. RLS is committed to helping build confidence and develop the next generation of skilled installers.
That commitment reflects a broader belief: advancing the air conditioning and refrigeration industry starts with supporting the people who power it. Every product innovation, every training session, and every customer interaction is driven by a simple goal: to help contractors work more safely, more efficiently, and with greater confidence.
Preparing for The Future
As the air conditioning and refrigeration industry continues to evolve with the introduction of new refrigerants, changing regulations, and increasing demands for productivity, RLS remains dedicated to providing solutions built specifically for the trade. By combining purpose-built ACR technology with comprehensive training and ongoing field support, RLS continues to stand alongside the professionals who keep the world comfortable, connected, and running every day.
