Caliber
A Caliber for PEX pipes is a specialized tool used in plumbing installations involving PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene) pipes. It is designed to perform two primary functions:
The reamer part of the tool is used to remove any burrs, rough edges, or imperfections from the cut end of a PEX pipe. This ensures that the pipe end is smooth and free from obstructions, allowing for proper insertion into fittings and ensuring a secure and leak-free connection.
The calibrator part of the tool is used to ensure that the diameter of the PEX pipe end is consistent and matches the specifications required for the specific type of fitting being used. Proper calibration helps ensure a tight and secure fit between the pipe and the fitting, minimizing the risk of leaks or failures.
Caliber at Arm Pipe
The tool may feature a dual-ended design, with one end serving as a reamer and the other end serving as a calibrator. The reamer end may have sharp cutting edges or blades for effectively removing burrs and imperfections from the pipe end.
Metal reamer calibrators are designed to be compatible with various sizes of PEX pipes commonly used in plumbing installations.
