Product Information

Full details

This TekTools 4-Piece Pipe Reamer & Chamfer Tool Kit is designed for professional plumbers, heating engineers, and installers working with Multilayer Composite Pipes (MLCP) like PERT-AL-PERT and PEX-AL-PEX. Its key benefit is the ability to quickly and accurately prepare pipe ends, creating a smooth chamfer to prevent O-ring damage and ensure leak-free connections. A potential caveat is that it's specifically for MLCP and not all pipe types.

FAQs

What type of pipes is this kit designed for?

This kit is specifically designed for Multilayer Composite Pipes (MLCP), such as PERT-AL-PERT and PEX-AL-PEX.

What are the pipe sizes included in the kit?

The kit includes four sizes: 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, and 32mm.

How do I use the reamer and chamfer tool?

Insert the appropriate size tool into the cut end of the MLCP pipe. Rotate the tool clockwise with steady pressure to deburr and create a smooth chamfer on the inside edge.

Why is chamfering the pipe end important?

Chamfering creates a smooth edge that helps prevent damage to O-rings and fittings during installation, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection.

Can I use these tools on copper or PEX pipes?

No, these tools are specifically engineered for multilayer composite pipes (MLCP) and may not be suitable or effective for other pipe materials like copper or standard PEX.

How should I maintain the tools?

Clean the tools after each use with a dry cloth and store them in a protected location to maintain their sharp edges and prevent corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Tool does not fit pipe end properly

Ensure you are using the correct tool size for the specific MLCP pipe diameter. Check the pipe for any deformation that might be preventing a proper fit.

Chamfer is not smooth or even

Apply consistent, even pressure and rotate the tool smoothly around the pipe's inner edge. Ensure the tool's cutting edges are clean and free from debris.

Difficulty removing excess burrs

Rotate the tool a few extra times with light pressure. For stubborn burrs, a deburring knife may be used cautiously after the primary reaming.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures professional, leak-free pipe connections.
  • Protects sensitive O-rings and fittings from damage.
  • Covers the most common MLCP sizes in one kit.
  • Durable design for professional, frequent use.
  • Improves efficiency by providing the right tool on demand.

Cons

  • Specific to Multilayer Composite Pipes (MLCP).
  • May require separate tools for other pipe materials.
  • Requires careful application to achieve the perfect chamfer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required. Select the appropriate tool size (16mm, 20mm, 25mm, or 32mm) for the MLCP pipe you are preparing.

Compatibility: This kit is specifically designed for Multilayer Composite Pipes (MLCP), including PERT-AL-PERT and PEX-AL-PEX.

Care: After each use, clean the tools with a dry cloth to remove any pipe debris. Store the tools in their original packaging or a designated tool bag to prevent damage and keep them organized. Periodically check the cutting edges for any signs of wear or damage. A light application of oil can prevent rust if stored for extended periods in humid conditions.
