How to Deburr copper pipe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 янв 2023
- Deburring copper pipe or any metal pipe is important, as the burr can cause turbulence in the pipe, resulting in erosion of the pipe wall. External pipe burrs also need removing, especially if using push fit fittings, as the O rings can be damaged, if burrs are present.

As it got towards the end I was worrying about the copper falling into the pipe - your solution was ingenious. Brilliant video - thank you!
Thanks 👍
If you haven't got a brush like that there are other substitutes to catch the burrs. Simplest is toilet paper. Take several joined sheets from the roll and twist them as you push them in to the pipe, keep going for a few inches but don't force it solid - we are only trying to catch a few burrs! Push just below the end. Use a screw driver or anything else at hand (a pencil) to hook the end of the paper and pull slow back out. Worst that happens is it breaks off - you need a longer tool to fish the remains out. If a little bit is left in it wont matter, the paper will slowly dissolve and come out the taps or other termination.
Other (better?) alternatives are cotton wool, makeup remover pads or bit of sponge. Attach a bit of string if you're really worried about not being able to get back out. If you have the more common barrel type deburr tool then you can drop the string in the pipe too and grab it with needle noses after.

Excellent tip using a drain brush.
Thank you! Cheers!
Those drain grime removal brushes are great for cleaning radiators, you might need to modify them slightly but they work great!
Good idea!
Nowt wrong with too many beers in Clitheroe. Been there many times after walking up pendle hill. 👍👍

Hi Andy, the brush on the inside is a great idea, pipe slice work ok but they do leave the inside burr reducing the inside diameter, cheers mate, hope your all doing well, stay safe, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
Thanks Stuart, I’m good thanks. I hope you are well!
Thanks, Chez 👍
Top tip for the drain brush :)
Thanks 👍
Brilliant! Thanks so much for the idea of the drain grime removal brush!.... I need to cut a pipe in situ and I was wondering how I'm going to prevent the deburr waste from falling down the pipe irretrievably -- I *love* this solution, thanks so much
BRILLIANT! Well worth watching everyone. BTW if anyone's redecorating this spring Ultimate's got a great video on degreasers which, simply, is a must watch. Thanks for this upload Ultimate and God Bless.
Thanks for that! 👍
Im fully burred up now....
thanks for the info..

Thanks, Neil 👍
I like the idea of that nylon brush with melted part for easy removal. What a great idea!
As for deburring, if one doesn't have a very good tool on hand for that, what about using a Dremel tool with a cone-shaped fine grinding stone to deburr?
I’ve never used a Dremel to be honest, but it should work 👍
Great tip!
Glad you think so! 👍
Every day a learning day awesome 👍
Glad to hear that! 👍
do what ? debur ...
O ... alright
sigh, I wish we had copper pipes
& really wish copper pipes were mandatory
it's so much healthier than other options available here in the US
thank you for you diy videos
so nice to learn something new
I always thought you had copper pipes in the states 😱
What are you talking about???
Copper pipes are in the USA and have been for decades.
For a very long time now, there's been legislation that makes it mandated potable water pipes contain less than 0.25% of lead, which makes copper the best choice.
I am aware that new builds are using less and less copper piping due to the insane cost of copper now and are using that "plastic" stuff.
On that, I totally do not agree! I would NEVER allow anything but copper in our home.
That being said, I'm aware that one of the other problems with copper that has helped in the reduction of its use, is the issue with pinholes developing.
I'm not sure how the plastic pipes stand up to decades of use, however.
I have in fact had pinhole leaks a couple of times here. Fortunately, they were in the basement (unfinished) and were on straight runs. So replacing them with the thicker (much more expensive) copper pipes was easy.
Next week, I'm also now going to install a sediment filter because there's a lot of sediment in the city lines in this area.
Always something, isn't it. LOL
Very nice! Thank you. 👍😁
Thank you! Cheers!
@@ultimatehandyman On the contrary, thank YOU! I was completely unaware of the pitfalls of not deburring. 👍😁
Sorry to ask you another question. I have to remove a baxi brazilia wall heater with giant flue. What should i use to fill the hole please? I'll need a structure inside I think to give the hole more stability. Or should i just show concrete in it. Many thanks.
Probably best to remove some plaster and replace the bricks/blocks with mortar, then replaster.
I’ve done this a few times for non-load bearing repairs- ruclips.net/video/Ki56Pgsb9Dk/видео.html
@@ultimatehandyman thanks again. So kind of you to reply to me. Have a great day.
I’m a bit late with this video, as I had far too many beers last night in Clitheroe. Please go easy on me 😂
All that witches brew Chez..... N x
Are you hobnobbin' with them posh buggers from Clitheroe again Chez? 🤣😂🤣
It was a bit of a short visit! My mate wanted to go in December, but the trains were on strike, this was the first chance we had to get there. My mate suggested the 17:25 train, so I got us two return, open tickets on my phone app. We went in a pub in Darwen, close to the railway station and had a couple of pints. At 17:10 I went to the loo and on my return, my mate had got another pint in 😱
Turns out he thought the train was 17:40, so we ended up going on the 18:25 train, we only went in one pub close to Clitheroe station, then had an Indian and missed the train, so had to get a Taxi home 😂
If he wants to go to Clitheroe again, I’m only going if we catch a much earlier train 😉
That is great tip
Thanks 👍
I just put compression fittings and didn't debur the copper. Should I redo or leave ?
Will probably be fine, for 20 years.
Does the burred edge have to be dead smooth? I’ve noticed that your tool by making a scraping noise is actually ‘skipping’ as it cuts. Are you removing the sharp flackie bits or are you completely removing that inner proud rim?
No, it does not need to be smooth, as long as the burr is removed it will be fine 👍
@@ultimatehandyman thanks for getting back to me, sorry but do you also think that the proud lip / rim on the inside of the pipe pressed out by the cutting wheel is fine (once you’ve removed the bur)? Or is that considered part of the bur?
That is the burr, it needs removing 👍
@@ultimatehandyman thank you
Every time I use the deburing tool it's a single spiral shaving. Can't you just pluck the shavings with the same tool or simply tip the pipe?
"in situ" means the pipe is attached to the system.
good vid
Thanks 👍
Will a utility knife or round file do an acceptable job?
Sure, copper is only soft 👍
@@ultimatehandyman Thanks, I figured it's not worth me buying a special tool for just one small job if I can make do.
Absolutely 👍
My first thought was why get yet another tool when something I already have, round files, should be capable of doing the same?
I understand if this was part of your work and something you do regularly, then the time savings absolutely makes sense.
I'm going to try and turn the water on just a little bit to flush the pipe.

What, actual human beings staffing the check outs? B&M are great for the cheap silicones. The stuff that one uses to stick and seal bath perimeters to walls, before applying final, neat bead of sani-sil. Screwfix no nonsense was £2.50, 3 years ago. Now it's £5.50 per cartridge.
Loafer only had 2 bottles of home brew in his man cave last night. I have no sympathy. Self inflicted.
To be honest, I hate shopping. I went to the Trafford centre once and was traumatised!
B&M are great, if there is a queue at the checkout, they open another till. They also have some real bargains. I remember when I was a kid, perhaps 40 years ago, when B&M had a store in Cleveleys, I bought my first cordless drill from there! It was a Black & Decker and something ridiculous like a 6V built in battery (it was pretty much useless) 😂
As for the beer, I blame my mate, he keeps dragging me out 😂
@@ultimatehandyman Meadowhell in Sheffield. Not Meadowhall. Shopping with the missus is the worst. Beer must be incorporated into the spree.
