Description

Before relining a pipe, it is essential to restore it to its original internal diameter. To achieve this, pipe relining specialists typically use a circular chain to clean the host pipe, which is effective for removing larger debris from the pipe wall. The pipe sanding tool is then used to remove the smaller remaining debris that also needs to be cleared.

This tool is also useful when reinstating junctions after the relining process, as the new liner often needs to be trimmed back.

Choosing the correct size depends on the smallest 90-degree bend in the pipe you are working in. Both the tool and the shaft must be able to pass through that bend.

This tool allows you to clean different pipe diameters by simply cutting a longer or shorter piece of sandpaper. Choosing the correct paper size depends on the width you want to sand at one time.

The tool is not limited to a specific paper length and can accept paper up to double its length if required. However, avoid using paper that is too wide. For example, it would not be appropriate to fasten a 3.94” (100mm) wide paper panel in a 0.6” (15mm) tool. As long as the paper width is reasonable, the tool will clamp it effectively.

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PIPE SANDING TOOL DOES NOT INCLUDE SANDPAPER.* The sandpaper is sold separately and can be found here. Alternatively, you could consider getting precut panels here.

Choosing the correct type of paper depends on the required level of waterproofing and abrasion.

Non-waterproof paper will not remain intact for long in a wet pipe, so waterproof paper is essential. You can purchase standard waterproof sandpaper from a local hardware store instead of using specialized sanding pads or rolls, but make sure to choose high-quality paper with a double-bonded backing. Preferably, use paper with grit on a woven backing rather than standard paper.
