About Virax

The Virax catalogue covers the whole of what a plumber does to pipe: cutting, threading, bending, pressing, end forming, drain clearing and testing. Most of the 218 products on this page are not machines but the parts that make a machine work — chasers, jaws, formers, wheels. That is also where most of the money in pipework goes.

On threading, the first thing to know is that the machine does not cut the thread; the chaser does. The machine turns the pipe, feeds the head and delivers oil. That is why one machine cuts right-hand BSPT, left-hand BSPT and NPT simply by changing the chaser set — and why steel and stainless have separate sets, since a steel chaser dulls fast in stainless and tears the flank of the thread.

Head, stock and chaser are one system. The head positions the chasers for a pipe size and centres the pipe; the stock is the ratchet that turns the head by hand. Because not every chaser fits every head, the product pages here state the compatible machine and head series by Virax catalogue number: 1620, 1621, 1240-1245.

With cutters the dividing line is the pipe. Steel and stainless take a framed cutter, copper a small hand cutter, plastic a shear or guillotine, cast iron a chain cutter. The only part that cuts is the wheel, and the wheel changes with the pipe too: in this catalogue every wheel names the cutters it fits by catalogue number, and every cutter points back at its spare wheel.

Bending is two different jobs. Copper is bent with a hand bender or a spring type bender; steel and large bore pipe with a hydraulic machine. In both, the part that matters is the former: it matches the outside diameter of the pipe exactly and supports the wall through the bend. Bend in the wrong former and the pipe flattens and wrinkles — which is why the formers are listed as a shelf of their own.

Pressing has become the standard flame-free joint. What seals it is the O-ring inside the fitting being compressed in the right geometry, and the profile of the jaw is what sets that geometry. TH, U, V and M do not substitute for each other: a joint pressed with the wrong profile holds on test and starts to weep after a few heating and cooling cycles. The catalogue carries M20+ rings and P22+ jaws from 12 to 54 mm.

The end forming tools are all about removing joints. An expander opens the pipe end by one size and does away with the socket; a flaring tool forms the 45° cone for a compression fitting; a T-drill set takes an outlet off a running main with no tee. Each of them removes a connection from the line, and every connection is a place that can leak.

For maintenance and commissioning the catalogue does three things: drain machines and spirals clear a blocked waste, test pumps prove a finished line tight under pressure, and the descaling pump dissolves scale in a boiler or exchanger by circulating an acid solution in both directions. In descaling the neutraliser is not an option: acid left in the circuit starts corrosion.

A size, thread form or profile that is not listed is not one we cannot supply: the Virax range is wider than the 218 rows on this page, and a request can be opened with the catalogue code on the product page (VIR162003) or the Virax number itself (1620 03).

Frequently asked questions

  • What does Virax make?

    Plumbing and pipe-working tools: pipe cutters and wheels, threading machines with their heads and chasers, hand and hydraulic benders with their formers, press jaws and rings, drain cleaning machines, pressure test pumps, a descaling pump and core drilling machines.

  • Does the threading machine decide the thread form?

    No, the chaser does. One machine cuts right-hand BSPT, left-hand BSPT and NPT simply by changing the chaser set, which is why an order needs both the pipe size and the thread form.

  • Do I need separate chasers for stainless pipe?

    Yes. Stainless is harder and its chip is stickier; a chaser ground for steel dulls quickly and tears the flank of the thread. Separate stainless sets are listed.

  • How do I find which chaser fits my machine?

    The product pages state the compatible machine by Virax catalogue number, such as 1620-1630, 1621 or 1240-1245. Match it against the number on your machine.

  • When should a cutter wheel be replaced?

    When the cutting force rises, the cut comes out burred and the pipe end draws inward. A dull wheel crushes rather than cuts: it leaks in a compression fitting and spoils a welding face on plastic.

  • Can a bending former be one size larger?

    It should not be. If the pipe does not seat in the groove the wall is unsupported: the section flattens and the inside wrinkles. Every pipe size has its own former.

  • What is the difference between TH, U, V and M press profiles?

    It is the section the jaw leaves as it compresses the fitting, and it decides where the O-ring is squeezed. The fitting manufacturer states the profile; a joint pressed with another can weep later.

  • Jaw or ring?

    A jaw mounts straight on the tool for small and medium sizes; a ring wraps the fitting completely and is closed by an adapter jaw in large sizes. The catalogue has M20+ rings and P22+ jaws.

  • What test pressure and duration should be used?

    Above working pressure; the exact figure and duration come from the system specification and local regulations. The test is run with water, with the line vented of air first.

  • Is a neutraliser required after descaling?

    Yes. Acid left in the circuit starts corrosion, so neutralising is the last step of the job.

  • Do you supply a size or thread form that is not listed?

    Yes. The Virax range is wider than the 218 rows here; request it by catalogue code or description through the contact page.

  • How do I get wholesale or dealer pricing?

    Seza Global supplies these wholesale. Send the product list, sizes, quantities and delivery location through the contact page and the project or dealer price is worked out from there; for regular purchasing you can open a dealer application.

  • Do you ship internationally?

    Yes. We ship domestically and internationally through an Istanbul based supply network, with export-ready documentation and invoicing.
