Prevost Pipe Cutter

Prevost PPS Pipe Cutter

The Prevost PPS Pipe Cutter is a professional-grade cutting tool essential for the proper installation of the Prevost Piping System. Designed specifically for cutting aluminum pipe (and compatible composite pipes), this tool ensures a perfectly square, burr-free cut every time—a critical requirement for ensuring leak-free push-to-connect joints.

Unlike standard hacksaws or chop saws that leave rough, jagged edges and introduce metal filings into the pipe, the Prevost Pipe Cutter provides a clean, surgical cut that preserves the integrity of the O-ring seals during assembly.

Key Features & Benefits

• Precision Square Cuts: Engineered to track perfectly around the pipe circumference, delivering a 90° cut that sits flush inside the fitting. This is vital for the proper engagement of the grip ring and seal.
• Burr-Free Finish: The hardened steel cutting wheel slices through the aluminum alloy cleanly, minimizing the need for extensive deburring and preventing sharp edges from damaging the fitting’s internal seal.
• Contamination Control: Using this cutter produces no “swarf” or metal dust inside the pipe (unlike abrasive saws), protecting downstream valves and tools from debris damage.
• Ergonomic Adjustment: Features a large, easy-grip tightening knob and a smooth telescopic slide mechanism, allowing for rapid adjustment to different pipe diameters.
• Integrated Deburrer: Many models feature a retractable deburring blade built into the handle, allowing the installer to clean the inner edge of the cut immediately.
