Product Details
The value of this chain pipe cutter is that it does not require wide tool rotation, hot cutting, or abrasive cutting. The ratchet handle operates parallel to the pipe, reducing required clearance, while the chain-style cutting action is suitable for hard or brittle pipe materials such as cast iron, cement, and clay pipe during repair and replacement work.
Cuts cast iron pipe, clay pipe, asbestos pipe, cement pipe, and water mains for wide jobsite coverage.
Ratchet handle operates parallel to the pipe, reducing effort and improving cutting efficiency.
Helps quickly create flat pipe ends for replacement, joining, or repair work.
Parallel handle operation is suitable for trenches, wall-side areas, and confined spaces.
If the warning line is exceeded before the pipe is cut, restart the cut to prevent tool lock-up.
Extension chain sets are available to expand cutting capacity for larger pipe diameters.
Suitable for repair and replacement of old cast iron, cement, and clay pipes.
Can be used for water mains, drainage lines, and public utility pipeline repair.
Parallel ratchet handle is suitable for trenches, wall-side areas, and limited-clearance locations.
