Ridgid 246 Soil Pipe Cutter
RIDGID 246 Soil Pipe Cutter
The RIDGID 246 Soil Pipe Cutter is a professional pipe cutting tool designed for demanding plumbing, utility, construction, and maintenance applications. Engineered to cut 1-1/2-inch through 6-inch clay, cast iron, and cement pipe, the Model 246 also provides the capacity to cut 4-inch Class 22 water main, making it a versatile solution for underground piping, drainage systems, and utility work.
Cuts Clay, Cast Iron, and Cement Pipe
The RIDGID Model 246 Soil Pipe Cutter provides a controlled method for cutting several common soil and utility pipe materials. Its chain-style cutting system positions multiple cutter wheels around the pipe circumference, allowing cutting force to be distributed around the pipe as the tool is operated.
The ability to cut 1-1/2-inch to 6-inch pipe gives contractors flexibility when working with different sizes of clay, cast iron, and cement piping. Its capability for 4-inch Class 22 water main further expands the cutter's usefulness for professional utility applications.
Ratchet-Action Handle for Narrow Trenches
A major advantage of the RIDGID 246 is its ratchet-action handle positioned parallel to the pipe. This configuration allows the cutter to operate in minimum-width trenches where space for conventional tool movement may be restricted.
The ratcheting design makes the Model 246 particularly useful for underground repairs, existing pipe installations, utility trenches, and other confined working areas.
Hand Guard for Added Operator Protection
The RIDGID 246 Soil Pipe Cutter comes complete with a hand guard designed to protect the operator's knuckles while cutting. This feature is especially beneficial when operating the cutter near trench walls, structures, or surrounding piping.
Professional Soil Pipe and Water Main Cutting
The RIDGID 246 is an excellent choice for plumbing contractors, underground utilities, municipal maintenance, commercial construction, sewer and drainage work, industrial maintenance, and MRO applications.
When selecting a RIDGID 246 Soil Pipe Cutter, verify the pipe material, pipe diameter, pipe class, cutter capacity, chain condition, cutter wheel condition, and available working clearance for efficient, dependable cutting performance.
