Wide, tough scrapers remove scale, dirt and corrosion quickly from the pipe surface to allow more effective cutting, joining, gasket/valve seating or other operations. Pipe descales are faster and more effective than chisels, chains or files and need only 2 in of clearance around the pipe. Use them to clean pipe before cutting or water tapping or drilling. Roller handles allow smooth movement in use. DS12 and DS36 chain descales are made entirely of steel that is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and toughness. The sharp metal scrapers dig in fast to remove dirt and debris. They are welded on for long life and can be sharpened. Also, Reed produces a heavy-duty power transmission belting pipe descaler, DS12B. Its handles and scrapers are blackened for good rust protection. Belt descaler benefits include lower cost and lighter weight than all-metal descales, longer length to ease back strain during use and high-profile scrapers to reduce dirt clogs. Reed offers a replacement belt (for DS12B only) with scrapers attached; simply bolt the new belt onto the handles.
