Frequently asked questions
Common questions about WHEELER-REX IPS from 3G Electric.
What is the purpose of a Wheeler-Rex IPS fitting saver?
A Wheeler-Rex IPS fitting saver is a tool designed to remove damaged plastic pipe from inside a fitting without cutting the fitting itself. This allows the fitting to be reused, saving time and materials during repair work. The tool is inserted into the fitting to extract the broken pipe section. Models are available for 1/2 in, 3/4 in, and 1 in IPS plastic pipe, as well as in kits covering multiple sizes.
Which Wheeler-Rex IPS fitting saver models are available for 1/2 in pipe?
For 1/2 in IPS plastic pipe, Wheeler-Rex offers the 19050 and 19051 single-piece fitting savers. Both models are designed to remove damaged pipe from inside fittings. The 19050 and 19051 are part of the IPS fitting saver line and are supplied by 3G Electric. These tools are suitable for plumbing and irrigation repairs where the fitting must be preserved.
What sizes are covered by the Wheeler-Rex IPS fitting saver kits?
The Wheeler-Rex IPS fitting saver kits, such as the 19020 and 19025, are 3-piece sets that cover pipe diameters from 1/2 in to 1 in.
