Wide, tough scrapers remove scale, dirt and corrosion quickly from the pipe surface to
allow more effective cutting, joining, gasket/valve seating or other operations. Pipe
descalers are faster and more effective than chisels, chains or files and need only 2”
of clearance around the pipe. Use them to clean pipe before cutting or water tapping
or drilling. Roller handles allow smooth movement in use. DS12 and DS36 chain
descalers are made entirely of steel that is zinc-plated for corrosion resistance and
toughness. The sharp metal scrapers dig in fast to remove dirt and debris. They are
welded on for long life and can be sharpened. Also, Reed produces a heavy-duty
power transmission belting pipe descaler, DS12B. Its handles and scrapers are
blackened for good rust protection. Belt descaler benefits include lower cost and
lighter weight than all-metal descalers, longer length to ease back strain during use
and high-profile scrapers to reduce dirt clogs. Reed offers a replacement belt (for
DS12B only) with scrapers attached; simply bolt the new belt onto the handles.
