A pipe puller is a steel device used to extract a broken piece of pipe without cutting or rethreading the intact pipe. It is made of durable steel and comes in different circumferences for different types of hose. The tool end can be attached to a power drill for easier use.
A pipe puller is a small steel device used to extract a threaded or non-threaded end of a piece of pipe from another pipe, after the first pipe has been broken. Once a hose end has broken within the threads of another hose, or when a hose nipple has broken off at the end of the hose it was capping, the broken piece must often be removed to replace the hose. or the capping nipple. One of the most efficient means of accomplishing this task is through the use of a pipe puller because the puller allows recovery of the broken piece without having to cut or rethread the intact pipe.
Pipe extractors often need to be made of a material that is much stronger than that of the pipe they are used to remove. As such, they are commonly made from steel. This durable material is needed because the pullers are used to create enough tension within the tube to make the puller rotate freely within the tube without twisting or twisting the outer tube. The extractor must be able to turn to release the broken piece from inside the pipe.
The design of the tube puller is the determining factor in how the puller mechanism works. Generally, the extractors themselves are typically sold in a set to provide multiple circumferences for use with different types of hose. Smaller pullers can be used to do precision work.
There are two ends of the tube puller. These ends are referred to as pipe end and tool end. One end is rounder and possibly notched or ridged into the gaps, and the other is shaped to allow a hand or power tool to be attached.
The most commonly used power tool attached to a pipe puller is a power drill. This makes the task of turning the tube puller much easier. The end that the tool is attached to is typically the same shape as a lug or nut, with six flat sides that can be gripped with a wrench or driven into a power drill.
Once the pipe puller has been forced into the pipe, the ridges or indentations on the pipe end of the tool grip the inside walls of the broken piece of pipe. Once this occurs, the hose can be removed with little more than a simple twist and pull action. It is this ease of use that makes the tube extraction tool as popular as it is.
