Gator 4735 Plumber Abrasive Sand Cloth 80 Grit 1x10 Ft

Product Description

The GATOR 4735 is an 80-grit abrasive sand cloth roll designed for pipe preparation, plumbing joint cleaning, and fitting surface work in residential and commercial plumbing applications. Built on an extra-heavy cloth backing with resin-over-resin bonded aluminum oxide abrasive, the roll resists tearing under the lateral and pulling forces common in hand-sanding pipe. At 1 inch wide and 10 feet long, it gives a plumber enough material to prep multiple joints from a single roll without running short mid-job.

This sand cloth roll is used wherever copper, iron, or other pipe surfaces require cleaning or scuffing before soldering, threading, or fitting assembly. Typical applications include prepping copper pipe ends before sweat soldering, cleaning oxidation from wrought iron fittings, and smoothing wood spindles or shafts in millwork and plumbing rough-in work. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general contractors commonly stock this type of roll as a consumable on service vans and job sites.
