A fluid applicator (1, 20) applies a fluid, such as flux, to the external surfaces of a pipe (22). The fluid applicator (20) has a fluid reservoir (24) containing the fluid to be applied to a pipe (22), and a fluid carrier (94) to receive fluid from the fluid reservoir (24). The fluid (carrier 94) is supported by a cylindrical sleeve (90) formed around the fluid reservoir (24). The cylindrical sleeve (90) is moveable between a position in which fluid is received by the fluid carrier (94), and a position in which the fluid carrier (94) applies fluid to a pipe end. |
