IPS Fitting Saver 1/2 in Schedule 80

The Wheeler-Rex 19051 IPS Fitting Saver is a pneumatic accessory designed for irrigation and sprinkler contractors. It fits a 3/8 inch drill chuck and removes pipe from solvent-welded fittings quickly. The tool weighs 0.45 lb and works with 1/2 inch Schedule 80 pipe. It saves time and money compared to replacing entire assemblies.

Upgrades Manual Pipe Removal

This accessory replaces the need to cut out and replace whole solvent-welded fitting assemblies. The jump is worth it when a fitting must be salvaged and the pipe removed without damaging the fitting body. It eliminates the labour and material cost of re-piping the joint.

Suits Contractors Salvaging Fittings

The tool suits plumbers and irrigation specialists who regularly reclaim Schedule 80 fittings during repairs or alterations. It is not for installers who only join new pipe and fittings, nor for anyone working with pipe sizes or schedules outside the 1/2 inch Schedule 80 specification.

Questions about this item

Does the 3/8 in chuck size fit a standard 3/8 drill chuck?

Yes, the tool is designed to fit a 3/8 in drill chuck directly for powered operation.

How is the fitting saver installed onto the pipe and what is the common mistake?

Insert the tool into the chuck, engage the pipe inside the solvent-welded fitting, and run the drill in reverse; the frequent error is running the drill forward, which tightens the joint instead of removing the pipe.

What maintenance or replacement will the IPS Fitting Saver need over time?

The cutting edges will dull with repeated use on Schedule 80 pipe and should be sharpened or the tool replaced to maintain clean removal.
