Tools & Accessories

This range of high-quality tools and accessories has been developed to support the efficient installation and ongoing maintenance of PVC pipework systems. Whether for cutting, preparation, or jointing, each item is selected to ensure a precise, durable, and professional finish. Available at competitive prices, the range includes essential items such as pipe cutters, emery cloth, solvent cement, PTFE tape, and union seals — all tailored to ensure compatibility with matched PVC systems.

• Cutting Tools:
• Pipe cutters and saws for clean, square cuts
• Suitable for PVC pipe sizes up to 225mm
• Preparation Tools:
• Chamfering tools to create 3mm x 45° bevels
• Emery cloth (coarse grade) for abrading pipe and socket surfaces
• Jointing Products:
• PVCu solvent cement (for plain fittings)
• MEK cleaner (for surface preparation)
• PTFE tape (for sealing threaded joints)
• Material Compatibility:
• All products are designed for use with unplasticised PVC (PVCu) pipe and fittings
• Operating Conditions:
• Working temperature for solvent cement applications: 5°C to 25°C
• Not suitable for use with compressed air systems

• Pipe Cutting & Preparation: Use pipe cutters or a fine-toothed saw to cut pipe clean and square. Chamfer the end (approx. 3mm x 45°) and mark socket depth for reference.
• Surface Abrading: Abrade pipe ends and fitting sockets using coarse emery cloth. Avoid over-abrading, which can increase joint clearance and weaken integrity.
• Cleaning: Wipe all abraded areas with a lint-free cloth moistened in MEK cleaner. Allow surfaces to dry completely before proceeding.
• Applying Solvent Cement: Use a clean brush to apply cement to both pipe and fitting using longitudinal strokes. Assemble immediately while the cement is still wet. Hold in place for up to 1 minute, depending on size.
• Finalising the Joint: Wipe away any excess cement from the outside of the joint. Allow 24 hours to fully cure at 20°C before pressure testing. Pressure test at 1.5 times the rated system pressure after full curing.
• Ventilation & Safety: Perform all work in a ventilated area. Avoid using solvent products near ignition sources. Do not use sealing pastes, dirty tools, or perform jointing in damp conditions.
