Performance and Use

Engineered for field repair and retrofitting, this bit is particularly effective for removing broken pipe sections during re-pipe or drain modifications. The design prevents damage to existing fittings, reducing material waste and labor time. Its compatibility with power drills improves job site efficiency when compared to manual reaming or full fitting replacement.

Installation Considerations

To ensure clean reaming, use a variable-speed drill with steady pressure to avoid melting or overheating the pipe wall. Recommended for professional use due to the tool's aggressive cutting action. Always wear appropriate PPE and confirm the fitting is Schedule 40-rated before use.
