Universal Pipe Cutters (UPC) are lightweight, fast cutting and require only 12" (300 mm) clearance around the pipe. UPC's are easy-to-use and available to cut 6" - 48" nominal diameter (150-1300 mm actual O.D.) ductile iron, cast iron, clay, concrete steel, PVC or PE pipe. UPC's can be operated underwater and are pneumatically powered. 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.
