This lightweight pneumatically powered cutter has been specifically designed by Pipe Equipment Specialists Ltd to quickly and safely make both longitudinal and circumferential cuts in most pipe materials particularly Ductile Iron and Steel pipe, thereby allowing a window, or section to be cut from the pipe wall to gain access to a previously inserted pipe. The cutter is suitable for pipe sizes from 40mm OD with a wall thickness up to 20mm and the standard unit will make longitudinal cuts up to 250mm (longer lengths available).

This glanding system, which has been tested at pressures up to 7 bar, is most suited for insertion of the Tracer Rod into gas and water mains and services. The gland rubber, which is about 25mm thick, can be compressed during use to increase the seal and prevent leakage. It has a 1” BSP internal thread as standard and is supplied with an adaptor to suit ¾” BSP. An adaptor to suit ¾” and 1” gas meter thread is also available Tracer Gland MP 3/4" & 1" BSP Thread

To enable the PE Tracer to be inserted into live PE mains, via a standard Service Tee, a system has been developed that enables the cutter to be removed, and a guide tube, complete with a directional foot, to be installed under live no blow conditions. The guide tube has a low pressure glanding system as standard, but can be supplied with a medium pressure glanding system ( suitable for use at pressures up to 2 bar ) if required. Once the tracing operation has been completed the guide tube can be removed and the cutter replace, all under live no blow conditions.
