NEBO SLIM Mini UV and McAlpine SolvPro Are Transforming Plumbing Precision

See the Difference

In the fast-paced world of plumbing, accuracy and reliability aren’t just nice to have—they’re essential. That’s why the recent collaboration between McAlpine plumbing products and NEBO is making waves across the trade.

Enter the McAlpine SolvPro Solvent Cement and the NEBO SLIM Mini UV Rechargeable Pocket Light: a powerful duo that’s changing the game for plumbing professionals.

Together, they offer a smarter, more precise way to apply and inspect solvent cement -especially in dark or hard-to-reach spaces.

Precision you can really see

What makes this partnership unique? It starts with SolvPro’s UV-reactive formula. While the solvent cement appears clear when applied - perfect for neat, professional finishes – it glows under UV light, allowing instant verification of coverage. This eliminates the guesswork that’s often part of pipework bonding.

That’s where the NEBO SLIM Mini UV steps in. Compact, durable and versatile - this pocket-sized torch features both a high-powered LED for general illumination and a UV mode for detailed inspection. Simply switch modes to check your solvent coverage on the spot - saving time, reducing errors and boosting confidence in every joint.

The NEBO advantage

At NEBO, we've established ourselves as leaders in crafting professional-grade lighting solutions that withstand the toughest demands. The SLIM Mini UV exemplifies our commitment to excellence, offering features that make your work easier and more efficient.

This innovative torch comes equipped with dual light modes - a powerful white LED for clear visibility when you're working in dark spaces under sinks or behind pipes, plus a UV mode that's invaluable for detecting leaks and checking solvent welds. The rechargeable design eliminates the hassle of carrying spare batteries, saving you time and money on the job.

We understand plumbers often need both hands free when working in confined spaces. That's why we've incorporated a magnetic base and pocket clip, allowing you to position the light exactly where you need it. The compact design means it fits perfectly in your tool bag or pocket, always ready when you need it.

Whether you're tackling a complex installation or routine maintenance, this torch delivers reliable, hands-free illumination every time.
