Strong Hand Tools MPCH250 Magnetic Pipe Centering Head – Mark Pipes Over 2 Inches, Anodized Aluminum

The Strong Hand Tools MPCH250 Magnetic Pipe Centering Head helps professionals mark center points on pipes with a diameter of 2 inches and larger. It supports marking on both interior and exterior surfaces, giving you accurate reference lines for drilling, threading, or welding tasks.

Constructed from anodized aluminum, the tool combines light weight with durable resistance to wear in busy workshops. The adjustable dial bubble protractor features 2.5-degree graduations, allowing you to capture fine angles and offsets with confidence.

The 360-degree rotatable dial includes an integrated vial, so you can verify level and alignment from multiple angles without constant repositioning. This flexibility makes it well suited to mid-size piping projects where precision matters and layout consistency matters.

Key benefits

• Precise center marks on interior and exterior pipe surfaces for consistent layouts
• Anodized aluminum construction offers durability and corrosion resistance
• Fine angle control with 2.5-degree graduations for repeatable marks
• 360-degree rotating dial with a built-in vial for reliable level checks

Who might use it

Fabricators, plumbers, HVAC installers, and DIY enthusiasts can leverage the MPCH250 for repeatable center references on mid-size piping tasks. Its compact profile and straightforward setup make it a practical addition to a toolbox or workbench.

How to use

• Clamp the centering head around the pipe and set the bubble dial to the desired angle
• Rotate around the pipe to transfer exterior center marks or to align interior reference lines
• Make light marks on the pipe surface and verify alignment with the integrated vial
• Repeat as needed to confirm symmetry before drilling or welding
