Reed ppr400 4 Inch Plastic Pipe Fitting Reamer

Product Description

The REED ppr400 is a 4-inch plastic pipe fitting reamer designed to remove old or broken pipe material and residual solvent cement from fittings so the fitting can be reused. Built for PVC, CPVC, and ABS pipe, the ppr400 features a carbide cutting insert with a cutting edge on each side of the insert. Rotating the insert before replacement yields three additional cutting edges, extending tool life and reducing replacement frequency. It accepts standard 1/2-inch drill chucks. Plumbers and pipefitters reach for this tool when salvaging fittings during repairs or retrofits.

The ppr400 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications, including vent lines, drain lines, and water supply lines. It is particularly useful in situations where fitting reuse reduces material cost and jobsite waste. The tool drives with any standard 1/2-inch drill and requires no special setup, making it practical for service technicians working in tight spaces or on active jobsite repairs.
