摘要

A groove-making tool consisting of a hardened grooving-wheel that can be substituted for the cutting-wheel on any hand-held pipe-cutting tool and can make at least one circumferential groove in a pipe. A method of coupling the pipe to a variety of standard off-the-shelf components by placing at least one O-ring on the grooved pipe, which has thus become a universal fitting, and applying a visually identifiable adhesive and/or crimping with a crimp tool.
