Nibco R00410PC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What tubing sizes does the Nibco PC-51 deburring tool handle?
The PC-51 covers 1/2 inch through 2 inch tubing, so one tool spans the whole common run of copper sizes on a press job instead of needing a small-size and large-size pair. Order code is R00410PC.
2) Do I actually need to deburr copper tube before making a Nibco press connection?
Yes. A press joint seals on the tube wall inside the fitting, and a burr or sharp edge left by the cutter can score or roll the sealing element as the tube goes home. Nibco is explicit that a reliable, permanent connection between copper piping and NIBCO Press System fittings and valves depends on using tested and approved tools for the system, and the PC-51 is the deburring tool in that line for 1/2 inch to 2 inch tube.
3) Is the PC-51 a press tool or just an accessory to one?
It is an accessory, not a pressing tool. The PC-51 is the hand deburring tool used to prep the cut tube end before the jaw or chain set makes the crimp. You still need an approved Nibco press tool and the correct jaws or chain for the size you are pressing.
4) Can I use this tool on commercial plumbing and fire sprinkler work, or is it residential only?
Nibco lists the PC-51 across automatic sprinkler systems, commercial plumbing, heating, HVAC, industrial, irrigation and residential plumbing. Same tool for a multi-family riser, a chilled water line, or a sprinkler branch, as long as you are pressing 1/2 inch to 2 inch tube.
5) Will the PC-51 work on tube larger than 2 inch?
No. The PC-51 is rated 1/2 inch to 2 inch only. For press work above 2 inch you need a large-diameter deburring tool matched to that size range, along with the jaws or chain set approved for those sizes.
6) Is this tool meant for press joints specifically, or also for soldered copper?
Its end connection classification is Press, so it is sold as part of the NIBCO Press System kit. Mechanically it is deburring a cut copper tube end, which is the same prep step a solder joint wants, but Nibco specifies it for press fittings and valves in 1/2 inch to 2 inch.
