Publication number: 20250128342Abstract: A tool for removing an outer jacketing material from a corrugated tubing. The tool includes a tubular housing with a first end having a bore extending therein for receiving the jacketed corrugated tubing and a second end with a tool connector. A blade is fixed through an opening within the housing near the first end. As the jacketed tube is pushed into the bore, the blade engages the jacketing material without scoring the corrugated tubing. Rotation of the tubular housing via the tool connector along with inboard movement of the tubing within the housing bore further engages the blade with the jacketing material. As the jacketed tubing is moved into the bore, the blade circumferentially removes the jacket from the tube. The blade is configured and positioned so as not to engage the corrugated metal tubing from which the jacket is to be removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 22, 2024Publication date: April 24, 2025Applicant: Pro-Flex, LLCInventor: Joseph N.
