Description
The Pipe Scraper is an essential preparation tool used when installing Durapipe PLX and Vulcathene pipe systems. Correct pipe preparation is critical to achieving reliable, long-lasting joints, particularly in chemical waste applications where joint integrity is paramount.
This hand scraper is designed to remove the outer surface layer of the pipe, ensuring a clean, keyed surface ready for fusion or mechanical jointing. For best results, the pipe should be scraped evenly over an area equivalent to the socket depth plus an additional 50%, helping to maximise joint performance and consistency.
Compact, easy to handle and purpose built for specialist plastic pipe systems, this scraper supports correct installation practices across laboratory and industrial drainage systems.
