Power Point 3 Common plumbing hand and power tools  LESSON INTENT Leaners will be able to identify the following tools and how to safely use that tool: Common Plumbing Hand and Power Tools Using common hand tools to carry Plumbing tasks Operating common power tools Hand Tools Power Tools Battery or Corded Safety Requirements for tools HAND TOOLS FOR PLUMBERS  ACTIVITY Doing PowerPoint make sure that you are doing the tools list in your workbook. Filling it out as you go ensuring that all information is correct. Spanners All plumbers’ toolboxes will include a variety of spanners. Spanners can be adjustable or of a fixed size. Spanners have flat faces to their jaws, which means that they should fit snuggly against the flat faces of a nut or bolt. If an incorrect spanner is used, or the adjustment is incorrect, the flat face of the nut of bolt could be ‘rounded’. This will damage the nut or bolt and could potentially hurt the operative, if the tool slips. Hammers & Mallets  Masonry Chisels & Wood Chisels Mushroom Head!! Saws Water Pump Pliers, Footprints, Stilsons & Vice Grips Pliers and Side Cutters Screwdrivers, Allen Keys & Bradawl Pipe Cutters and Files Spirit Levels  Pipe Bending Tools Blow Torches and Heat Mats Specialist Tools  Pipe Freezing Kits  PORTABLE PIPE FREEZING KITS Clamps are placed either side of the working area. The machine is switched on and water is lightly sprayed onto the clamps. This builds up a layer of ice on the outside of the pipe. The temperature is then transferred to the water inside the pipe. This kit is re-useable.  PORTABLE PIPE FREEZING KITS When using a refrigerant kit, clamps are placed onto the pipe, either side of the working area. These clamps are filled with refrigerant. Water is sprayed lightly over the clamps, which ice up. This temperature is then transferred to the water inside the pipes. Replacement refrigerant sprays are required.  Radiator Valve Spanners and Bleed Keys  Safety and maintenance Use the tool for the purpose it is designed for, correct tool for the job! Where correct and suitable PPE Maintain tools, keep sharp tools sharp, tools with movable parts keep lubricated and oiled. Training!, if you have never used or unsure how the tool works ASK!!  Common types of Chucks for Drills  Drill Bits General Masonry Spade or Auger Bit Purpose Drill Bit Wood Bit Drill Bit Hole Saws and Core Drills Mains Powered and Battery Operated Power Tools Some other Power Tools Only Class M Vacuums are allowed on site!! (Class M will remove 99.9% of dust)  DO NOT USE DAMAGED POWER TOOLS!!!!  Safety and maintenance Power tools need regular inspection and maintenance.
