How to Protect Trees and Shrubs: Winter Climate Tips
Jan 29th 2026
The PVC-Lock Beveling Tool is the "insurance policy" for your push-fit irrigation system. When you cut PVC pipe, it often leaves a sharp, jagged edge that can slice the internal O-ring of a fitting during insertion, leading to leaks. This handheld tool quickly creates a smooth, tapered chamfer on the end of the pipe, ensuring it glides harmlessly past the seal. It is a mandatory accessory for installing irrigation fittings that rely on internal O-rings, such as PVC-Lock or compression couplers.
Designed for versatility, this all-in-one tool fits the three most common residential pipe sizes: 3/4", or 1". After cutting your line with a PVC Pipe Cutter, simply insert the pipe end into the tool and twist to create the perfect bevel in seconds.

Three steps to a perfect prep.
Step 1: Cut
Cut your PVC pipe to length using a ratchet cutter or saw. Ensure the cut is square (90 degrees).
Step 2: Insert
Place the cut end of the pipe into the appropriate sized slot on the Beveling Tool (3/4", or 1").
Step 3: Twist
Apply firm pressure and rotate the tool (or the pipe) clockwise several times until a visible bevel (sloped edge) is formed around the entire circumference. Wipe away any plastic shavings before installing.
