Frequently Asked Questions

What does a pipe preparer do?

A pipe preparer removes burrs and sharp edges from the end of a freshly cut pipe. This helps the pipe seat fully in a fitting and reduces the risk of damaging seals or causing leaks.

Do I need to prepare a pipe before using a push-fit fitting?

Yes. Push-fit fittings rely on internal seals, and a rough or burred pipe end can damage them. Cutting the pipe square and removing burrs gives the best chance of a reliable, watertight joint.

Are Arctic Hayes pipe tools suitable for DIY use?

Yes. They are straightforward to use, so competent DIYers can use them on jobs such as adding a radiator or replacing pipework. Work on gas supply or sealed heating systems should always be done by a suitably qualified engineer, such as a Gas Safe registered professional.
