Reed 04430 DEB4 1-1/4″ – 4″ Deburr / Chamfer Tool for Plastic Pipe

The Reed DEB4 Deburr/Chamfer Tool (Product No. 04430) is a versatile, professional-grade tool built to deburr and chamfer six common plastic pipe sizes with one easy rotation. Designed to snap onto the outside of the pipe and spin around the edge, the DEB4 quickly produces a smooth, consistent 3/32-inch, 15-degree external chamfer that preps plastic pipe for strong solvent welds. It’s compatible with 1-1/4″ through 4″ nominal diameter pipe and works on PVC, CPVC, ABS, and PP. This tool simplifies pipe prep work by combining deburring and chamfering into one step, helping plumbers, HVAC installers, and mechanical contractors reduce install time and improve joint integrity.

Manufactured by Reed—a trusted name in professional pipe tools since 1896—the DEB4 is ideal for field and shop use. It features a reversible and sharpenable hardened steel blade that delivers long life and reliable performance even with frequent use. While it’s not recommended for thin-wall pipe like Schedule 20, the DEB4 shines when used on Schedule 40 and similar piping, especially in applications where clean, properly prepared pipe ends are essential for leak-free joins.
