PVC Lock Tools

A PVC-Lock release tool is designed specifically for PVC-Lock push-to-connect fittings made by Hydro-Rain. These include couplings, elbows, tees, crosses, adapters, and other fittings in the PVC-Lock line that use a stainless-steel retainer ring and O-ring seal to grip the pipe. The release tool compresses the retainer ring inside the fitting, allowing you to easily remove the pipe without damaging either component. It will not work on traditional glued PVC fittings or other brands of push-to-connect systems that use a different design.

Removing a PVC-Lock® fitting with the proper release tool will not damage the pipe or the fitting. The release tool is designed to compress the stainless-steel retainer ring inside the fitting, which loosens its grip on the pipe so it can slide out smoothly. However, if you try to force removal without the release tool, you risk damaging the fitting, the pipe, or both.
