Abstract:
A pipe fitting tool comprising:a square including a pair of planar rectangular strips coupled at ends thereof in perpendicular relationship;a pair of holders holding the square, each holder including a central extent and a pair of legs extending outwardly from the central extent, each of the legs having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surfaces of the legs forming an angle with respect to each other and a top surface secured to the square such that the square resides in a plane in which an intersection of the lower surfaces resides;wherein the upper surface and the lower surface of each of the legs converge toward each other such that a width of each of the legs tapers smaller toward an outboard end of each leg relative to an inboard end of each leg for minimizing weight of the holder away from the central extent and enhancing stability of the holder when the lower surfaces are rested on an upper surface of a pipe;wherein the holder includes a slot formed in the central extent for releasably receiving the square, the slot being open upwardly for insertion of the square;wherein a couple further secures the square to the holder;wherein the couple includes a screw;wherein the angle is approximately 120 degrees; andwherein the lower surfaces of the legs are substantially planar.
