Shears - up to 35 mm diameter IVAR.ROS P 35 A

Product detailed description

Professional plumbers and heating technicians frequently need to cut flexible piping systems such as ALPEX and PEX during the installation of domestic hot and cold water systems, underfloor heating, and other building services. These systems are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings due to their flexibility, ease of installation, and resistance to corrosion. Accurate and clean cuts are essential to ensure proper fitting of pipe fittings and to prevent leaks or flow restrictions. The IVAR shears are specifically designed to handle the demands of cutting these types of pipes efficiently and precisely.

With a maximum cutting capacity of 35 mm diameter, these shears are suitable for a wide range of pipe sizes used in modern plumbing and heating applications. The tool is designed for repeated use in both small-scale and large-scale installations, ensuring consistent performance over time. The cutting action is optimised for clean, burr-free cuts, reducing the need for additional finishing or trimming after cutting.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Before cutting, ensure the pipe is straight and free from kinks or bends that could affect the cutting process. Position the shears around the pipe at the desired cut point and apply even pressure to make a clean, straight cut. After cutting, inspect the end for burrs or irregularities that could interfere with fitting connections. A common mistake during installation is applying uneven pressure, which can result in an angled or uneven cut. Always use the tool according to the manufacturer’s instructions to maintain cutting precision and tool longevity.

Compatibility and accessories

These shears are specifically designed for use with ALPEX and PEX pipes. The cutting blade (IVAR.ROS P 35 A) is replaceable, allowing for continued use when the original blade becomes worn. For long-term use, it is recommended to have spare blades available. The replacement blade (IVAR.ROS) can be ordered separately to maintain the cutting performance of the tool.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR shears operate using a mechanical cutting action that applies focused pressure to the pipe, allowing for a clean and precise cut. The blade material is selected for its durability and ability to maintain a sharp cutting edge, even after repeated use. The tool is designed to integrate into standard plumbing and heating workflows, where clean cuts are essential for proper system performance. The service life of the tool is influenced by the frequency of use, the type of pipe being cut, and the maintenance of the cutting blade.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the cutting blade is recommended to ensure it remains sharp and free from damage. A dull blade can lead to uneven cuts and increased effort during operation. If the blade becomes worn or damaged, it should be replaced with the appropriate model to maintain cutting efficiency. No specific service intervals are provided, but routine checks are advised to maintain optimal performance.

Frequently asked questions

Can these shears be used for cutting copper pipes?
No, these shears are specifically designed for ALPEX and PEX pipes. Using them on copper or other rigid pipe materials may damage the tool or result in poor cutting performance.

How do I know when to replace the cutting blade?
Replace the blade when it becomes dull or shows signs of wear that affect the quality of the cut. A worn blade can lead to uneven or rough cuts, which may require additional finishing.

Can I use these shears for cutting pipes with insulation?
No, the shears are intended for cutting the pipe material itself. Insulation should be removed before cutting to ensure a clean and accurate cut.

What is the difference between the main tool and the replacement blade?
The main tool includes the shears and the initial cutting blade. The replacement blade (IVAR.ROS) is a separate item that can be ordered to replace the original blade when it becomes worn or damaged.
