Another type of puller that may be used to assemble asbestos cement pipe and fittings is called a "frame puller". The frame puller consists of two frames which clamp the pipe on each side of the coupling. The clamps(frames) are joined by two handle assemblies which form two levers between the clamps. When pressure is applied to the levers, the frames tighten on the pipe giving a positive pull between the two pipes. 1, record 2, English, - frame%20puller

Un autre type d'outil d'assemblage peut être utilisé pour assembler les tuyaux et les raccords en amiante-ciment et c'est la bride d'assemblage. Cet outil comprend deux brides qui serrent les tuyaux de part et d'autre de l'accouplement. Les brides de serrage sont reliées à deux ensembles de barres de manœuvre formant leviers entre les brides. Lorsqu'une pression est appliquée sur les leviers, les brides se resserrent sur chacun des tuyaux, exerçant ainsi une traction positive entre les deux. 1, record 2, French, - bride%20d%27assemblage

The best means of cutting pipe is with the use of a snap type cutter which has sharp hardened cutting wheels. In the past plumbers used a cold chisel and hammer, but due to technological change in the manufacture of the pipe, the iron has become more difficult to cut by this means. The snap type cutter is fast and accurate, but it is important that the cutters be maintained in good condition. 1, record 8, English, - snap%20type%20cutter

La meilleure façon de couper un tuyau consiste en l'utilisation d'un coupe-tuyau à chaîne à molette affûtée et trempée. Par le passé, les plombiers utilisaient un ciseau à froid et un marteau, mais étant donné les changements technologiques dans la fabrication des tuyaux, il est devenu beaucoup plus difficile de couper la fonte par ce moyen. Le coupe-tuyau à chaîne est rapide et précis, mais il est très important de maintenir les molettes en bon état. 1, record 8, French, - coupe%2Dtuyau%20%C3%A0%20rupture%20instantan%C3%A9e
