Abstract:
Various systems, tools, and methods are described for rendering regions of coated pipe suitable for receiving press fittings. The systems, tools, and methods may also be applicable for transforming regions of pipe, coated or uncoated, and which are otherwise unsuitable for sealingly engaging press fittings, so that reliable and leak-proof seals can be made between the pipe and press fittings.
Abstract:
A press frame for attaching connectors to workpieces such as cables and pipes is described. The press frame is adapted to be releasably attached to a hand-held, battery powered press tool. The press frame includes selectively interchangeable components that enable a wide range of different styles, sizes, and configurations of electrical connectors to be attached to cables.
Abstract:
A jaw arm (12) for an associated compression tool having cam rollers (36) that displace forwardly and rearwardly along an axis to pivot the jaw arm includes a recess (16) and a notch (60). The recess is disposed adjacent a forward end (42) of the jaw arm. The notch is axially spaced rearwardly from the recess. The recess is configured to receive an associated pipe and an associated coupling for compressing at least one of the associated pipe and the associated coupling to mechanically attach the associated pipe to the associated coupling when the jaw arm is pivotally displaced toward at least one of the associated pipe and the associated coupling. The notch is configured to receive an associated cam roller of the associated compression tool (28) and to retain the associated cam roller to inhibit axial rearward movement of the associated cam roller when the associated cam roller has been received in the notch.

Abstract:
A cutting tool (10) is described. The tool (10) engages with a standard press tool and is used for cutting brittle pipe such as cast iron soil pipe. The tool (10) features a cutting chain assembly (110) that is tensioned about the pipe by a pair of pivotally moveable arms (70, 90).
