RIDGID Pipe Extractors & Pipe Taps provide professional plumbers, pipefitters, maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors with dependable tools for removing broken threaded pipe and restoring or creating pipe threads.

RIDGID Pipe Extractors for Broken Pipe Removal
RIDGID Pipe Extractors are designed to help remove broken or damaged threaded pipe sections that remain lodged inside fittings or other internally threaded components. When a pipe breaks near or inside a threaded connection, conventional gripping tools may not provide enough access for removal.
A properly sized pipe extractor engages the remaining pipe section from the inside, allowing torque to be applied for removal. This makes pipe extractors valuable for plumbing repairs, industrial maintenance, mechanical systems, utility work, and equipment servicing.
Correct extractor selection should be based on the specific pipe size and application.

RIDGID Pipe Taps are designed for cutting, cleaning, or restoring internal pipe threads in compatible fittings and components. They can be used when creating new threaded connections or repairing existing threads that have become damaged, corroded, contaminated, or worn.
Selecting the correct pipe tap size and thread standard is essential for producing threads that properly match the intended pipe or fitting.

Selecting RIDGID Pipe Extractors & Pipe Taps
When choosing RIDGID Pipe Extractors & Pipe Taps, verify the nominal pipe size, thread type, extractor or tap size, component material, condition of the existing threads, and intended repair application. Proper tool selection and technique help provide efficient broken-pipe removal, accurate thread restoration, and dependable professional pipe repair.
