Kimberly-clark Professional 14753 Wrap-around Tape Measure

Product Description

The KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL 14753 is a wrap-around tape measure designed for pipe layout, circumference measurement, and cut-line marking in plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical trade work. The flexible 72-inch tape wraps fully around pipe to measure circumference and doubles as a straight edge for scribing accurate cut lines. A built-in tangent chart is printed on the tape to assist with marking pipes for angled cuts. The tape measures 3-7/8 inches in height and accommodates pipe diameters from 3 inches minimum up to 10 inches maximum. It weighs approximately 0.5 pounds, making it easy to carry on the job.

This tool is used by plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on pipe fabrication and installation. It is suited for residential and commercial applications where accurate circumferential layout is required before cutting or welding. The tangent chart feature makes it especially useful when working on angled pipe intersections that require precise layout marks. The black tape provides good contrast against a wide range of pipe materials and coatings.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during pipe layout prior to cutting or welding. No power source is required. Ensure the tape lies flat against the pipe surface with no gaps or twists before scribing a cut line to maintain accuracy. When working on pressurized systems, always depressurize and isolate the line before any cutting or welding operations begin.
