Prevost Tube Cutter – R22 CT

Precision Cutting for Leak-Free Pneumatic Connections

The Prevost R22 CT Tube Cutter is an essential professional tool designed specifically for the clean, square cutting of technical pneumatic tubing. In the world of push-to-connect fittings, the quality of the cut is the single most important factor in preventing leaks. A jagged or angled cut can damage internal O-rings or prevent the gripping teeth from seating properly.

The R22 CT ensures every cut is perfectly perpendicular, providing the flat surface area required for a 100% airtight seal every time.

Key Features

  • Precision V-Groove Guide: The base of the cutter features a V-shaped cradle that centers the tubing (Polyurethane, Nylon, or Polyethylene). This prevents the tube from slipping or rotating during the cut, ensuring a perfect 90-degree angle.
  • Ultra-Sharp Stainless Steel Blade: Equipped with a high-carbon stainless steel blade that slices through tubing without crushing or deforming the walls. This maintains the “roundness” of the tube, which is critical for smooth insertion into Conex fittings.
  • Ergonomic Spring-Action Design: The lightweight, pocket-sized body is designed for one-handed operation. The spring-loaded mechanism keeps the jaw open and ready for the next cut, reducing hand fatigue during large-scale installations.
  • Integrated Safety Lock: Features a robust locking clip that keeps the blade safely closed when not in use. This protects both the user and the blade edge from damage while stored in a tool belt or chest.
  • Replaceable Blade System: Unlike disposable plastic cutters, the R22 CT is built for long-term service. The blade can be easily replaced once it loses its edge, ensuring factory-level precision for years of operation.

The Professional Advantage

Using standard scissors or a utility knife to cut pneumatic tubing often results in a “burred” or diagonal edge. This leads to two major problems:

  1. Seal Failure: An uneven edge does not compress the internal O-ring evenly, leading to “slow leaks” that are hard to diagnose.
  2. Fitting Damage: Burrs or shards of plastic can be pushed into the fitting, potentially clogging valves or damaging sensitive downstream components.

The Prevost R22 CT eliminates these risks, making it the standard-issue tool for maintenance teams, machine builders, and pneumatic technicians.

Ideal Applications

  • Pneumatic System Installation: Ensuring high-integrity connections on new machinery and manifolds.
  • On-Site Maintenance: Quickly and cleanly repairing punctured air lines in industrial environments.
  • Laboratory & Medical Setup: Precise cutting of small-diameter tubing for sensitive diagnostic equipment.
  • Automotive Shops: Professional routing of air lines for suspension or shop-floor air drops.

Maintenance Tip

To prolong the life of your R22 CT, ensure the tubing is free of grit or metal shavings before cutting. Periodically wipe the blade with a light machine oil to prevent residue buildup and maintain a smooth, effortless slicing action.
