CU-INOX pipe cutter - diameter 64-120mm IVAR.RAS CU-INOX

Product detailed description

Professionals working on large-scale heating and plumbing systems often require tools that can handle thick-walled copper or stainless steel pipes. In industrial, commercial, and large residential buildings, such pipes are commonly used for high-pressure or high-temperature applications. The IVAR CU-INOX pipe cutter is designed for such scenarios, ensuring clean and accurate cuts without deformation or burrs. It is particularly useful in systems where copper or stainless steel piping is preferred for its corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity.

This tool is commonly used by installers, contractors, and service technicians who need to modify or repair piping systems in HVAC, water supply, and industrial process lines. The cutter is designed to maintain the integrity of the pipe material, ensuring that the cut surface is suitable for welding, flaring, or threading without additional preparation.

Technical parameters

Code	113500
Brand	IVAR

The IVAR CU-INOX pipe cutter is specifically designed for copper and stainless steel pipes with diameters ranging from 64 to 120mm. This range makes it suitable for medium to large-diameter piping commonly found in industrial and commercial installations. The tool’s design ensures that it can handle the rigidity and thickness of these materials without causing deformation or damage to the pipe structure.

Installation and connection

To use the IVAR CU-INOX pipe cutter, the pipe must be securely clamped in a stable position to prevent movement during cutting. The tool is manually operated, requiring the user to rotate the cutting wheel around the pipe circumference. It is important to ensure that the cutting wheel is aligned with the pipe axis to avoid uneven cuts. Common mistakes include applying excessive force, which can lead to blade wear or pipe deformation, and failing to check for burrs after cutting. After cutting, the ends should be inspected for smoothness and alignment before proceeding with any further installation steps.

Compatibility and accessories

The IVAR CU-INOX pipe cutter is designed to work with copper and stainless steel pipes. It is compatible with standard pipe diameters in the specified range and does not require additional adapters for most applications. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use the tool with a suitable cutting lubricant, which helps reduce friction and extends blade life. No specific accessories are required for basic operation, but users may need to have a deburring tool or measuring instruments on hand for precision work.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR CU-INOX pipe cutter operates on a manual cutting principle, using a hardened cutting wheel that rotates around the pipe to create a clean, precise cut. The tool is constructed from durable materials to withstand repeated use in industrial environments. Its design ensures that the cutting force is evenly distributed, reducing the risk of pipe distortion. The choice of copper or stainless steel for the pipe material is often driven by the need for resistance to corrosion and thermal expansion. The cutter’s performance is influenced by the pipe’s wall thickness and material hardness, which should be considered during system design to ensure compatibility with the tool.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the cutting wheel is recommended to ensure it remains sharp and free from damage. If the blade becomes worn or chipped, it should be replaced to maintain cutting accuracy. After each use, the tool should be cleaned to remove any metal shavings or debris. No scheduled service intervals are specified, but users should monitor the tool for signs of wear and replace parts as needed. Proper storage in a dry environment will help extend the tool’s lifespan and maintain its functionality.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR CU-INOX pipe cutter be used on stainless steel pipes?
Yes, the tool is specifically designed for cutting both copper and stainless steel pipes within the specified diameter range.

Is it suitable for cutting pipes with thick walls?
Yes, the cutter is built to handle thick-walled pipes, ensuring clean and accurate cuts without deformation.

What should be done if the cut surface is uneven?
Uneven cuts can result from misalignment of the tool or excessive force during operation. The tool should be realigned and the cutting process repeated carefully.

In tight spaces, alternative cutting methods may be required.
