Universal Pipe Cutter

Lightweight, easy-to-use Universal Pipe Cutters (UPC) are available to cut 6”

• 48” nominal diameter (150-1300 mm actual O.D.) ductile iron, cast iron, clay, concrete, steel, PVC, or PE pipe. NOTE: When cutting steel pipe with the steel blades, sparks are possible and expected. Because of the sparks, the UPC cannot be used for cold cuts. REED Universal Pipe Cutters are pneumatic powered. The lower cost UPC616A uses the same motor as the others, but does not need connecting frames. The UPC616A, UPC636A, and UPC648A UPCs are shipped in a toolbox with a three-gallon, formed-steel water tank. UPC836APE and UPC848APE are designed specifically for cutting PE pipe. The kit includes a 6" and 8" carbide tipped blade. The 8" blade will cut large diameter PE pipe with a wall thickness up to 2.65" (67mm). UPC836APE and UPC848APE also come in a toolbox but without the water tank. Standard Equipment Standard Equipment UPC616A UPC636A UPC648A UPC836APE UPC848APE Power Cutter with 1.7 H.P.
