Noble BC believes that every industry professional should have a well-stocked toolkit. By finding the best deals in BC on plumbing supplies and investing in these must-have tools, you can increase your efficiency, precision and quality of work.
Pipe Benders
Pipe benders are tools that bend pipes to a precise angle. When choosing the proper pipe bender for the job, consider the material type, wall thickness, design and overall appearance. Pipe benders are available in manual and powered options. Electric pipe benders may be fully or semi-automatic, and some advanced options can also reorient the pipe during the process. Manual pipe benders are easy to use and are helpful if you do not have an electricity source. If you’re unsure which option to choose, visit your local plumbing supply store for professional advice.
Pipe Threading Machine
A pipe threading machine creates threads on the end of a pipe to attach it to a connector. These machines make installation easier and faster, reducing the physical exertion necessary to complete the job, especially on large-scale projects. They are also a great way to ensure secure, consistent threads at both pipe ends. Most options are versatile and can also be used for grooving, cutting and beveling.
Digital Manifold Gauge Set
A digital manifold gauge measures temperature and pressure in hydronic systems, which rely on precise measurements to operate efficiently. While analog options are available, digital gauges offer higher accuracy, real-time readings and ease of use. They can help you quickly diagnose issues like inefficiencies or refrigerant imbalance. This crucial diagnostic tool ensures energy efficiency and system longevity.
Digital Pipe Locator
This tool uses electronic signals to pinpoint the precise location of underground pipes without digging, minimizing the risk of damaging utilities. Using a digital pipe locator saves time and is non-invasive, as it allows you to identify where the pipe is buried without needing to drill nearby.
PEX Expansion Tool
PEX pipes are a flexible material commonly used for hydronic and plumbing systems. However, they require expansion to fit larger fittings. A PEX expansion tool temporarily stretches the pipe so you can insert the fittings, then contracts to form a leak-free connection. This tool is vital in helping you create long-lasting, reliable joints for all your plumbing projects.
