Spare cutter wheel - diameter 16-63mm IVAR.NKRE

Product detailed description

In residential and commercial plumbing applications, cutting flexible plastic pipes such as ALPEX and PEX requires precision and durability. Installers often need to make clean, burr-free cuts to ensure proper fitting and long-term performance of the system. This spare cutter wheel is specifically designed for use with IVAR pipe cutters, enabling accurate and repeatable cuts across a wide range of pipe diameters.

Whether working on central heating, hot and cold water distribution, or underfloor heating systems, the correct cutting tool is essential to avoid damage to the pipe and to maintain the integrity of the insulation or protective layers. This cutter wheel is a direct replacement for the original IVAR.NKRE model and is intended for use in environments where PEX and ALPEX piping is commonly installed.

Technical parameters

Installation and connection

Replacing the cutter wheel should be performed with the cutting tool disassembled and the old wheel removed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure that the new wheel is seated correctly in the tool's housing and that the cutting edge is aligned with the guide. Common mistakes include incorrect tightening of the wheel, which can lead to uneven cuts, or using a worn wheel that has lost its cutting edge. Always check for signs of wear or damage before installation.

Compatibility and accessories

This spare cutter wheel is designed for use with IVAR pipe cutting tools. It is specifically intended for cutting ALPEX and PEX pipes. For optimal performance, ensure that the cutting tool is compatible with the wheel's dimensions and threading. No additional accessories are required for standard installation and operation.

Technical background for designers

The cutter wheel operates by rotating against the pipe surface, applying controlled pressure to create a clean, straight cut. The material of the wheel is selected to maintain sharpness and durability when cutting flexible plastic pipes. The integration into the cutting tool ensures that the wheel remains stable during operation and that the cutting force is evenly distributed. The service life of the wheel is affected by the frequency of use, the type of pipe being cut, and the presence of impurities or abrasives in the material.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the cutter wheel is recommended to ensure that the cutting edge remains sharp and free from damage. A dull or chipped wheel can result in poor cutting performance and may damage the pipe. No specific service intervals are provided in the technical data, but replacement should be carried out when signs of wear are observed.
