Pipe Wrench / Fitting Wrench
Indispensable tool for tightening and loosening pipe connections. Available as standard pipe wrench or Swedish wrench (self-locking). Always use two wrenches when tightening (counter-holding) to avoid damage to connections.
Pipe Cutter
For clean, square cutting of pipes. Available for various materials: copper, steel, plastic. Clean cuts are crucial for tight GEBO connections.
Deburring Tool / Internal and External Deburrer
Removes burrs from cut pipe ends. Critical for GEBO compression fittings — burrs can damage the O-ring seal and lead to leaks.
Sealing Materials (Hemp, Teflon, Anaerobic)
Sealing materials for threaded connections. Hemp + Fermit (classic, adjustable), PTFE tape (quick), anaerobic adhesive (permanent). NOT required for GEBO compression fittings (these use O-rings).
Support Sleeves
Support sleeves are inserted into plastic and multilayer composite pipes to prevent compression of the pipe when tightening the compression fitting. MANDATORY for all plastic pipe connections with GEBO products.
Torque Wrench
Torque wrench for controlled tightening. Recommended for larger GEBO connections and flange connections. Prevents over- and under-tightening.
Caliper (Vernier Caliper)
Caliper for precise measurement of pipe outer diameters. Indispensable for selecting the correct GEBO product — even 1 mm difference means a different size.
