Prevost Disconnection Tool – R22

Description

Prevost Disconnection Tool – R22

Precision Extraction for the PPS Grip Concept

The Prevost R22 Disconnection Tool is the specialized instrument required to disassemble or reconfigure the PPS (Prevost Piping System). While the PPS is designed for a permanent, leak-free “Grip Concept” connection, it is also completely modular. The R22 tool allows you to safely and efficiently retract the internal stainless steel gripping teeth from the aluminum pipe, allowing the pipe to be removed without damaging the fitting or the pipe surface.

For any facility manager or technician working with Prevost aluminum piping, the R22 is the essential “key” to maintaining a flexible and expandable air network.

Key Features

• Non-Destructive Removal: Specifically engineered to depress the internal “Grip Concept” ring uniformly. This allows the pipe to slide out of the fitting smoothly, preserving the integrity of both the pipe and the internal CC seal for future reuse.
• Ergonomic Leverage: Designed to provide the specific mechanical advantage needed to overcome the high-tension grip of the stainless steel teeth. It makes disconnection a one-person job that takes only seconds.
• Compact, Low-Profile Design: Its slim geometry allows you to access fittings in tight corners, near ceilings, or behind machinery where standard tools cannot reach.
• Durable Construction: Built from high-strength technical polymers or treated metals (depending on the specific size) to withstand the rigors of industrial toolboxes and repeated use on large-scale installations.
• Color-Coded Sizing: Each R22 tool is precisely sized to match the PPS pipe diameters (e.g., 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, etc.), ensuring a perfect fit that won’t slip or mar the fitting body.

The “Modular Mindset”

One of the greatest advantages of the Prevost Piping System is its ability to grow with your business. If you add a new machine or move your assembly line, you don’t need to cut or scrap your piping. By using the R22 Disconnection Tool, you can “unlock” your current layout and reassemble it in a new configuration. This zero-waste approach makes the PPS system a long-term asset rather than a sunk cost.

How to Use the R22 Tool

1. Depressurize: Ensure the air system is completely vented and locked out for safety.
2. Position: Place the R22 tool around the pipe, flush against the opening of the fitting.
3. Engage: Press the tool firmly into the fitting to retract the internal gripping ring.
4. Release: While holding pressure on the tool, pull the aluminum pipe outward. The pipe will slide out cleanly.

Ideal Applications

• Shop Relocations: Disassembling an entire air network for transport to a new facility.
• System Expansion: Inserting new tees or drops into an existing main header.
• Maintenance Audits: Removing sections of pipe to replace seals or inspect internal air quality.
• Temporary Installations: Setting up air lines for seasonal production runs that will be removed later.
