Why do I need to use a calibrator and reamer instead of just cutting the pipe?

Cutting often squeezes plastic pipes out of round and leaves sharp burrs. This tool restores the pipe's circular shape so fittings slide on easily. It'll also deburr the inside and outside edges to prevent O-ring damage.

What kinds of pipe materials can I use this tool on?

It's designed for PEX-AL, PPR, aluminum, and plastic pipes. It works with systems complying with ISO 15874 and ASTM F1281 or F1282 standards. Don't use it on rigid metal pipes like copper.

Which specific pipe sizes does this calibrator kit support?

This three-piece kit fits nominal outer diameter pipes of 16mm, 20mm, and 25mm. These sizes cover the most common diameters used in residential plumbing and radiant heating. Each tool is sized specifically for these three measurements.
