Abstract: A tool for removing a compression gasket from a pipe generally comprises a sleeve and a rod; the sleeve having a cylindrical rear end for fitting over the end of the pipe and rear threads adapted for threadably engaging the front threads of a compression nut and a front end including internal threads; the rod passing longitudinally through the sleeve and having a rear end including a bearing adapted for bearing against the end face of the pipe, a central portion including threads threadably engaged with the internal threads of the front end of the sleeve and a front end including a nut or handle for turning the rod. Screwing the rod such that it moves rearward moves the sleeve and the compression nut forward such that the rear shoulder of the compression nut bears against the rear side of the gasket and pushes the gasket forward off the end of the pipe.
