The present disclosure provides an apparatus for forming orthogonal joints in conduits The apparatus includes a first piece including a first plurality of curved openings and a second piece including a second plurality of curved openings. The apparatus includes a hinge configured to couple the first piece to the second piece and to enable the first and second pieces to be configurable in each of a closed position and an open position, where, when in the open position, the first piece is positioned adjacent to the second piece and, when in the closed position, the first and second pieces are configured to define a channel for receiving a conduit and each of the first plurality of curved openings is aligned with a corresponding one of the second plurality of curved openings. The apparatus further includes one or more magnets coupled to the first or the second piece.

An indexing tool for positioning a workpiece, the tool comprising a block having sides, the sides defining a regular polygon. The block has a central opening, and a threaded hole extending at a right angle to the central opening and into and through one of the sides. The block also has a V notch in the block wall opposite the threaded hole, the threaded hole being adapted to have received therein a like threaded set screw.

A conduit marking tool is fashioned as a rectangular prism having a bore passing through the center thereof. A plurality of perpendicular notches is disposed on one (1) of oppositely positioned frame faces. A set screw is disposed on a side of the tool between the faces. The tool permits a user to score or otherwise mark apportion of conduit for subsequent tasks.

The invention relates generally to a system used to produce a prototype part and subsequently an accurate design specification for a fluid or gas handling system/hose and or tube assembly, followed by the subsequent communication of that specification into an ordering interface that processes the specification into a usable format as a means to accurately produce and re-create the original specification in a remote location by a specific manufacturing process, in order to supply the originator of the design an accurate, working part, produced in the specified materials in a rapid, convenient and cost effective manner. The process has global applications in various industries, markets and vehicle or machinery types, particularly where it is inconvenient or prohibitively expensive to have the work performed on-site by a technician.

A laser guide pipe fitting assembly for accurate hole drilling when laying pipe includes a plurality of pipe fittings, each comprising a cylindrical bushing having a front end, a rear end, and a bushing diameter. The front end has a cavity extending through to proximal the rear end. The cylindrical bushing is configured to fit in an open end of a pipe having an inner diameter and an outer diameter with the bushing diameter substantially conforming to the inner diameter. The cavity is configured to receive a laser pointer. A collar is coupled to the front end of the cylindrical housing.

Plumbers are often required to carry out various tasks on water pipes including measuring, cutting, bending, threading, joining, soldering and marking positions on pipes. Each of these activities requires the pipe to be held securely by the plumber (for instance in one hand, or under one foot, while the task itself is carried out using the free hand(s). The present invention is a tote tray provided with a clamp 15 connected to the open-top box, the clamp configured for releasably gripping a pipe 17. In this way, a plumber may place a pipe 17 within the clamp 15 and securely grip it therein, and may then carry out various types of work on the pipe 17 without the need to hold the pipe 17 manually in position. Once work on the pipe 17 has been completed, the user may release the clamp's grip on the pipe 17.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a pipe fitting alignment device. Particularly, the disclosed device comprises a cup configured to fit over one end of a pipe, a slope level, and a laser unit. The device provides a quick and accurate way to locate marks for drilling multiple holes that slope at a desired angle. As a result, the need to measure, level, and mark individual joists is eliminated. Accordingly, the device reduces the need for line levels, traditional torpedo levels, plumb lines, caulk lines, sight wires, level sticks, etc. and allows one person to pinpoint drilling locations and accurately align components and structures to desired slopes.

A laser measuring device for a pipe fitting including a framing square having a first arm and a second arm attached to the first arm. Each of a pair of laser housing units is disposed on a top surface of the first arm of the framing square. Each of the pair of laser housing units has a central processing unit, a display screen, an activation control disposed proximal the display screen, and a laser directed outward toward the second arm of the framing square. A lever is slidably disposed on the framing square. The central processing unit of each of the upper laser housing unit and the lower laser housing unit is configured to calculate a distance of the laser of each of the upper laser housing unit and the lower laser housing unit, respectively, from a pipe when the framing square is disposed immediately adjacent to a pipe fitting.

A squaring device includes a longitudinal square component configured to form a flange defining a slot therein, the slot adapted to rotatably receive a flat stock end. An L shaped square component includes a first outside edge and a second outside edge, the first and the second outside edges configured to form a flange defining a slot therein along a length of the flange, the flange adapted to rotatably receive one of the first forty-five degree and the second forty-five degree flat stock ends of the longitudinal square component. A magnetic clip is adjustable to fit either the flange end or the flat stock ends of the longitudinal square and the L square components via adjustable linear force sensitive pins, wherein a squaring device is formed and fixed magnetically and mechanically in place for pipe fitting by a combination thereof. Level indicators therein include magnifying lens and lighting.

A pipe spacing wedge system including a pipe spacing wedge assembly, with the pipe spacing wedge assembly including a wedge-body. The wedge-body may be defined by a front-side, a back-side, a right-edge, a left-edge, a top-edge, and a bottom-edge. The front-side of the wedge-body includes a plurality of stepped surfaces and the top-edge includes a sharp point. The pipe spacing wedge assembly is structured and arranged to assist a user in setting a variety of specific gap-distance between sections of pipe and pipe spacing wedge assembly is intended to be driven between the two sections of pipe by the user to set the gap-distance.
