Key Features of Tap Tree Peeler

Targeted Application

Designed specifically for use on the outlet side of tapping tees for accurate electrofusion preparation. Not intended for pipe ends with significant out-of-roundness, where a pipe surface peeler may be more suitable.

Consistent Tool Alignment and Feed

An internal mandrel supports proper tool alignment and helps maintain a consistent feed rate with each revolution.

Durable Cutting Tool

Equipped with a replaceable solid carbide cutting tool for extended service life under regular field use.

Lightweight and Durable Build

Made from anodized aluminum to provide a lightweight design with strong corrosion resistance for job-site conditions.

Performance Overview

The tap tee peeler removes a thin, uniform layer from the outlet surface to eliminate oxidation and contamination. Clean surfaces improve electrofusion bonding and joint reliability. The tool’s compact design allows precise preparation where larger peelers cannot fit.

It is not recommended for pipe ends with significant out-of-roundness, where a full pipe surface peeler may be more suitable.
