Within the housing there is further included upper and lower wipers, which comprise circular rubberized material having bores along their central axes, the bores being substantially the width of a section of drill pipe to clean the wall of the pipe. Each wiper would be spaced apart from one another and housed within an annular channel along the inner surface of the housing so that the wipers would be stationary within the housing as the housing is placed in the closed position. There is provided spray nozzles for providing pressurized spray of water and anti-corrosive compound for coating the pipe wall.
