Hi all, Can this be used to open PVC unions and true union ball valves and if so can it go up to 2" pipe size unions? Thanks.

Yes it can turn just about any union, the strap is long enough to encompass a 10 inch circle. this thing is very strong!

Yes, as in pvc tubing or piping. It has two different sets of teeth, a finer set on one side and not so fine set on the other side. You might try the less fine side first. It is so sharp and handy. But remember it cuts on the pull stroke. I can imagine someone cutting their finger with it if not careful or not keeping the other hand away from the teeth.

hey Pitta the valve is 1/2 npt thats national pipe thread.So I use 1/2 ID tube to drain my wort, make sure it will handle hot wort. good luck.

Hi Stacey, I actually am using this in a different way than what it is intended... I have it running inside 2 inch PVC pipe that has 5 Chicken water nipples drilled into it for my chicken watering system... I assume you could wrap a 2 inch pipe with this item to keep it from freezing, but I've never tried it.

It is a plastic ball valve design so in theory it would work although I'm not sure if this would impact longevity of the valve itself. For occasional use it would likely be fine.

I just measured mine, and they open 1 3/4" max. It should just work, although if its a really strong clamp, you might have trouble squeezing it open.

It can. The only problem is you need to cut the opening wider to fit a large enough piping tip. Then you can never use a smaller tip.

in would cut through a thin sheet of PVC no problem. But the tool is not large enough to cut through pipes it is made for flat thin sheets of metal & plastic or thin wood it is a very well made tool & I highly recommend this tool no doubt.... Thank You for your question?

The in and out pipe size for the pump is 1.1/2" FPT. I would use a union the same pipe size as the inlet pipe to the pump and a 1.1/2" union on the discharge side.

Unless the bits are very finely chopped, I wouldn't recommend it. The valve will get clogged. Hope this helps.

I have never tried mine on a pvc pipe or fitting. I would not buy one just for this unless the pipe is almost impossible to replace. I have used mine to repair plastic parts that are expensive to replace or no longer made. The welder is great for the jobs I have used it for but I have not used it to repair a pipe that would be subject to water or air pressure.

Travis O., this tubing is pretty sturdy but not if it is long like a cane, it might bend under pressure. I had to cut it with a saw to get it to the lenght I needed for my mom's fish tank. So I it is not as strong like PVC pipe so you might want to use something else.God Bless,Reggie J.

I believe I have 2" unions. Very easy to install. Comes w/plug so no wiring...plug right in!

The AC valve "insides" that fit up into the chamber look about the size of a bicycle tire valve "insides". The blue fitting is for the low side, and it fits what I would call 1/2" (measures a little bit smaller). I have not used the high side, but the red fitting will fit a larger port. I am not sure if the large style "insides" will extract into the chamber or not.

I don't think there would be a problem using any size up to half inch, I am using a half inch hose right now but I did buy the connectors I wanted, with 1/4 inch pipe connector you can adapt from 1/4 to 1/2 however you want.

Then this won't work for you. From the tube up to the base (bottom) thread, it is 25mm. From the tube to the opposite end of the valve (in other words, the entire length of the valve) is only 33mm.

I bought it to fit 4"PVC pipe. I think as others stated you would need a couple if you are using 5"or 6" pipe.
