Definitions

  • the pipes are mounted within the wall and/or floor or ceiling and terminate in a “stub out” which is a short length of pipe extending through an opening in a wall.
  • a pressure test is required prior to connecting the stub outs to the building or home fixtures.
  • a pressure gauge is attached by solder to one of the stub outs. All of the remaining stub outs are closed by caps which are also soldered on each stub out. The system is then pressurized to detect any leaks.
  • shut off valve is soldered to many of the stub outs, with an external conduit, which can be formed as a flexible hose, attached to the shut off valve by solder or tightenable compression fittings.
  • a tool to make a grooved endform or profile on the stub out suitable for connection to a water supply component having quick connection features. It would also be desirable to provide a tool to make a grooved endform that can be a manual hand tool or a power tool. It would also be desirable to provide a tool for making a groove and tube length cutting for any tube and profile application including such non-limiting examples of plumbing, automotive, and industrial applications.
  • the present invention is an apparatus or tool for simultaneously cutting an end and forming a groove profile on a tube.
  • the tool includes means for cutting the tube to length, means for forming a groove in the tube, and means for moving the cutting means and the groove forming means relative to the tube.
  • the cutting means can include at least one cutter.
  • the groove forming means can include at least one roller.
  • the cutting means can include means for simultaneously cutting the tube and forming a rounded and/or chamfered profile on the cut end of the tube.
  • the means for moving the cutting means and the groove forming means relative to the tube includes a body, a carrier, and carrier moving means for moving the carrier relative to the body.
  • the body includes the at least one cutter and the at least one roller.
  • the body can also include adjustment means to accommodate a plurality of different diameter tubes.
  • the adjustment means can include detent means, a restraint, and indicia associated with different tube diameters.
  • the carrier includes another cutter and another roller positioned in opposition to the at least one cutter and at least one roller of the body, respectively.
  • the means for moving the cutting means and groove forming means relative to the tube includes a pair of opposing dies, a first gear for rotatably moving the cutting means and the groove forming means relative to the tube, means for moving the dies relative to each other, and translation means for translating relative movement between the dies into movement of the cutting means and the groove forming means in a perpendicular direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the tube.
  • the translation means can include an angled surface on the cutting means and the groove forming means which has a complementary shape to a pocket of each die.
  • the means for moving the dies relative to each other and rotating the gear relative to the tube can include a drive shaft.
  • An output of an electric power drill which can be battery powered and/or plug in, can provide means for rotating the drive shaft.
  • the present tool allows the use of fluid quick connectors to provide an easy attachment to existing building plumbing without requiring time consuming soldering of pipe connections. This is especially advantageous during the initial pressure testing of building plumbing which requires caps to be soldered over the open ends of all stub outs before the system is pressurized. The caps are subsequently removed and other fluid conduits, stop valves, etc., connected to the stub outs in a normal fashion.
  • the present tool cuts an end of the stub out and forms a grooved endform suitable for connection to a water supply component having quick connection features to replace all of the soldering.
  • the present tool eliminates these time consuming procedures by enabling a single quick connector containing a shut off valve, etc., to be attached in a simple slide-on manner to a stub out.
