Metal pipe Cutters

Kent Precision Window Cutters

This smart-lightweight pneumatically operated cutter has been specifically designed to quickly and safely make both longitudinal and circumferential cuts in most pipe materials particularly Ductile Iron and Steel pipe, thereby allowing a window, or section to be cut from the pipe wall to gain access to a previously inserted PE pipe or any other service line. The “window” purpose is to allow a service connection to the PE gas pipeline.

The cutter is suitable for pipe sizes from 40mm OD with a wall thickness up to 20mm and the standard unit will make longitudinal cuts up to 250mm (longer lengths available).
