Pipe Chamfering Tools

The Chamf tool will apply a 15 degree chamfer to any 110mm PVC pipe (including drain & soil pipes) in 15 seconds. The unit works with a power drill by mounting the male spigot into the drill chuck.

PipeGrip – Pipe Support and Clamp

PipeGrip is a convenient heavy duty pipe support & clamp that is ideal for site use. Made from heavy duty steel plate and powder coated for durability, it securely clamps 110mm and 160mm PVC pipes when cutting or chamfering. PipeGrip is easily used by a single person and is the ideal stand to use when pipe chamfering using Chamf.

Manual Pipe Gradient Measuring Tool

PipeFall is a robust, anodised aluminium drainage pipe gradient measuring tool. Its easy to use and accurate, simply slide the ‘spirit level’ body over the desired colour coded recess. The PipeFall level will click into place and indicate to the user when either a 1:40, 1:60, 1:80 or 1:100 fall has been achieved.

Grindermate – Safe & Accurate Cutting Jig For Brick & Block Paving

Angle grinders cause thousands of injuries each year. Construction workers often hold bricks, blocks or paving slabs in place with a foot when cutting them on site without a jig, but this is dangerous and risks injury.

Metex Grindermate is a simple, light cutting platform for brick and block paving which you can just place on the ground and start cutting. It’s marked for 45 degree and half brick cuts, and holds the brick or block pavior in place while you cut, with zero setup time.

Non-Return Valves

Metex Buffalo 110mm & 150mm stainless steel door non-return valves help prevent backflow of water into properties during flooding. The 110mm valve has WRc Approval. They are suitable for clay, PVC & cast iron pipe systems for installation within either an outlet or inlet of a drainage chamber. Secured into pipework within drainage chambers they also effectively discourage rats and rodents from entering a property via the drainage system.
