Hydro-rain PVCL-RTL-100 Pvc-lock Release Tool 1 Inch

Product Description

The HYDRO-RAIN PVCL-RTL-100 is a dedicated release tool designed for disconnecting 1-inch PVC-Lock fittings without damaging the pipe or fitting body. PVC-Lock push-to-connect fittings use an internal collet that grips the pipe on insertion. This tool provides the correct geometry to depress that collet uniformly, allowing the pipe to slide free cleanly. At 0.04 pounds, it is a lightweight addition to any irrigation or plumbing tool pouch. Irrigation technicians, plumbers, and landscape contractors working with PVC-Lock systems will want this tool on hand any time a push-connect joint needs to be broken and reassembled in the field.

This tool is sized specifically for 1-inch PVC-Lock push-to-connect fittings used in residential and light commercial irrigation systems. It is particularly useful during system modifications, winterization procedures, or repair work where sections of pipe must be disconnected and rerouted without cutting out the existing fitting. Using the correct release tool prevents collet deformation and allows the fitting to be reused where the fitting manufacturer permits.

Key Features

• Sized for 1-inch PVC-Lock push-to-connect fittings
• Depresses the internal collet evenly to release pipe without distortion
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds — suitable for everyday carry in a tool pouch
• Allows non-destructive disconnection and potential fitting reuse
• Simplifies field repairs, reroutes, and system modifications

Compatibility

Designed for use with HYDRO-RAIN 1-inch PVC-Lock push-to-connect fittings. Consult the fitting manufacturer documentation to confirm compatibility with specific PVC-Lock product lines before use.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by irrigation technicians and plumbers servicing push-to-connect PVC irrigation systems. Before disconnecting any fitting, shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely. Insert the release tool into the fitting collar around the pipe and press firmly toward the fitting body to depress the collet, then withdraw the pipe with steady axial pull. Inspect the collet and O-ring after disconnection before reassembling the joint.
