  • Publication number: 20150090094
    Abstract: A pipe peeler for removing a uniform layer of material from the outer surface of a polyethylene pipe is provided. The device comprises a body, a blade, a chain coupled near a first face of the body, a means for coupling the other end of the chain to the body near a second face of the body, a means for tightening the chain around a pipe, and a grip for rotating the device around the pipe in order to peel the pipe. The chain may define a helix shape when wrapped around the pipe, creating a spiral track on the pipe that the blade will follow when the device is pushed around the pipe, thereby creating a uniform spiral peel.
