Abstract: A pipe end chamfering tool for creating a bevel on the inside diameter or the outside diameter, or the inside and the outside diameter of a pipe end. The tool includes a body, one or more first projections, and at least one chamfering region at the juncture of the body and each first projection. The chamfering region is configured to cut either an inside bevel, or an outside bevel, or both an inside and an outside bevel on a pipe end. The first projection has a proximal, a middle and a terminal segment. The middle segment has a width essentially equal to the inside diameter of the pipe to be chamfered and stabilizes the pipe during chamfering. The terminal segment is semicircular and is oriented perpendicular to the plane of the proximal and middle segments. The terminal segment collects and allows removal of chips or shavings created on the inside of the pipe during chamfering.

Abstract: A repair fitting is provided for sealably connecting ends of a pipeline, when a damaged section of the pipeline has been removed. In a preferred embodiment, the pipeline ends are connected using the repair fitting with two stab fittings. The repair fitting includes a first and second piston and a first and second cylinder, wherein the first piston is slidable in the first cylinder and the second piston is slidable in the second cylinder. In an alternate embodiment, two fusion joints are used with the repair fitting to sealably connect the ends of the pipeline. A method is provided for making a repair fitting and a method is also provided for repairing a damaged section of a pipeline.

Abstract: A plastic pipe end forming tool to form both inside and outside bevels on a pipe end. An elongated body has a cavity constituting a cylindrical channel. A pair of opposed protrusions extend into the cylindrical channel to form a V-shaped space to receive the pipe end therein and to allow rotation of the pipe in the cylindrical channel and thereby form bevels on the pipe end.
