The system’s automated LED light head can cure a 50-foot sewer line in under 12 minutes, significantly reducing installation time compared to traditional methods. It accommodates pipe diameters from 2 to 18 inches and offers multiple light head options for varied applications. A touchscreen interface automates pullback speed, while interchangeable reels ranging from 33 to 100 meters provide flexibility across job sites. The integrated camera allows real-time monitoring to ensure installation quality, and the ergonomic frame enhances portability. 920-648-4848; www.hammerheadtrenchless.com
Pipeline Renewal Technologies SpeedyLight+
SpeedyLight+ from Pipeline Renewal Technologies uses UV light to cure felt or GFRP liners for trenchless rehab of 2- to 24-inch pipes. The versatile system can tackle cracks, resolve chronic root intrusions or mend offsets and failing cast iron roof drains among a host of other problems. Resins used with LED UV cure are free of styrene and amines (and the odor) so projects are much less disruptive to communities and businesses. There are no working time considerations and the liner can be wet-out remotely, further saving time at the job site. Technicians can turn the light on and off any time to stop or start the cure. The system has a 328-foot reach. 866-936-8476; www.pipelinert.com

Pipe Cutters
Reed Manufacturing Guillotine Pipe Cutters
Guillotine Pipe Cutters from Reed are designed to cut PE pipe within 1/8 inch of square on medium and high-density pipe. The manual guillotine-style cutter slices smoothly through polyethylene. Three models cover from 1 1/2- to 12-inch pipe diameters. Accurate cuts mean no facing is needed for electrofusion and only minimal facing for butt fusion joints. These tools leave a smooth cut surface. A durable, nonstick coated blade makes many square cuts with no chips to clog valves and small openings. A slight taper on the blade allows an easy start to the cut and holds form for a nice, straight cut. Blades are easy to sharpen or replace, according to the maker. 814-452-3691; www.reedmfgco.com
