Universal Saddle Patch Scraping Tool

Helps you achieve precise, compliant surface preparation for your electrofusion welding with our Universal Saddle Patch Scraping Tool. Designed for in situ use, this tool is engineered to scrape a perfect rectangular "window" on Polyethylene (PE) pipes, creating the ideal surface for branch or tapping saddles.

Unlike rotary scrapers that require full 360° clearance, this tool features a unique reciprocating action. This allows for minimal excavation, enabling operators to prepare the pipe surface even in confined trenches or tight spaces where full rotation is impossible.

Why Choose a Patch Scraper?

Minimal Excavation Required. Because the tool moves back and forth (reciprocating) rather than spinning around the pipe, you can work with significantly less clearance. This saves time and money on earthworks. Precision Engineering. The automatic traverse feed moves up and down to ensure an even, consistent scrape across the entire zone. Perfect Weld Prep. It removes the oxide layer to a precise depth of 0.25mm (± 0.05mm), ensuring a high-quality fusion bond for your saddle. Versatile Sizing. Whether working on standard mains or large-diameter transmission lines, the extended-length chains allow this tool to mount onto all pipe diameters.

Operation - Automatic traverse feed (Up & Down) with reciprocating scraping head.

Scrape Depth - Consistent 0.25mm ± 0.05mm cut.

Patch Window Sizes:

200mm x 150mm

250mm x 280mm

Compatibility - Suitable for all pipe diameters (requires extended chains for larger pipes).

Application - Essential for preparing pipe surfaces for electrofusion branch saddles, tapping saddles, and large-diameter repairs.
