Tools & Accessories

Engineered to support the precise installation and reliable maintenance of PVC pressure systems, this range of tools and accessories is designed to meet the demands of both professional and industrial applications. From pipe cutting to secure jointing, every item has been selected for its durability, accuracy, and compatibility with PVC pipework, ensuring optimal performance and system integrity.

• Pipe Cutters & Saws: For clean, square cutting of PVC pipe, made from hardened steel or durable plastic, Suitable for all PVC pipe sizes
• Chamfers: Create a 3mm x 45° bevel on pipe ends. Available with plastic or metal handles, ensure smoother joint assembly and reduce cement displacement
• Emery Cloth: Coarse abrasive fabric for surface preparation. Used to abrade both pipe ends and fitting sockets, Essential for optimal solvent cement bonding
• Solvent Cement: PVC-compatible chemical bonding agent, Suitable for plain socketed fittings, fast-setting for high-integrity, leak-free joints
• MEK Cleaner: Methyl ethyl ketone-based cleaning agent, removes contaminants from abraded surfaces, used before applying solvent cement
• PTFE Tape: Thread-sealing tape made from polytetrafluoroethylene provides a watertight seal on male threaded PVC fittings, prevents leaks, and facilitates easy disassembly
• Union Seals: Elastomeric or rubber sealing rings provide leak-free connections at union joints, matched for use with PVC union fittings

Cutting & Preparation:

• Use a plastic pipe saw or pipe cutter to achieve a clean, square cut. Chamfer the pipe end (approx. 3mm x 45°) to prevent cement displacement. Abrade the outer pipe surface and inner fitting socket using coarse emery cloth.

Cleaning:

• Thoroughly clean all arched surfaces with a lint-free cloth moistened in MEK cleaner. Ensure all debris and moisture are removed.

Jointing:

• Apply solvent cement quickly and evenly to both pipe and fitting using a suitable brush. Insert the pipe fully into the fitting without twisting and hold in place briefly to ensure bonding. Wipe away excess cement from the exterior.

Curing & Testing:

• Allow 24 hours under standard conditions (20°C, dry environment) before pressure testing. Begin curing time only after the final joint is complete. Ventilate the system well during assembly to remove solvent fumes.
