OVERVIEW

Precision Pipe Layouts Made Simple

The Techniweld Standard Centering Head (430-2050) is an indispensable tool for professional pipe fitters, welders, and fabricators. Designed to eliminate the guesswork in pipe layout, this tool allows you to quickly and accurately establish center lines and mark angles on cylindrical surfaces. Whether you are working on small bore piping or standard runs, this centering head is engineered to fit pipe diameters ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inches.

Robust Construction and Design

Built to withstand the rigors of the industrial job site, the body is constructed from durable cast aluminum, offering a perfect balance of strength and lightweight portability. The Y-head design naturally cradles the curve of the pipe, ensuring stability while you take measurements. At the core of the tool is a hardened steel centering pin. Once the tool is positioned and the angle is set, a simple strike with a hammer on the pin leaves a clear, permanent mark on the workpiece, ready for drilling or cutting.

Versatile Angle Finding

Beyond just finding the top dead center, the Techniweld 430-2050 features an integrated adjustable dial bubble protractor (DSL). This allows users to find specific angles and offsets around the pipe circumference, making it a versatile instrument for complex fitting tasks. It is a cost-effective, high-quality alternative to other market-leading centering heads, providing reliable performance for daily use.

Key Applications

  • Marking top and bottom dead center on pipes.
  • Laying out keyways and drilling points.
  • Setting angles for branch connections.
  • General pipe fabrication and alignment.
