General 115 Hand Tube Cutter 1 to 2 Inches

Product Description

The GENERAL 115 is a hand-operated tube cutter designed to cut flexible rubber, PVC, and plastic tubing with a capacity range of 1 inch to 2 inches. Built for use in the field or shop, this tool delivers clean, burr-free cuts without requiring power tools or specialty equipment. Its compact form makes it practical for tight spaces common in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical work. Trade professionals and knowledgeable DIYers reach for this type of cutter when working with non-metallic tubing on drain lines, condensate lines, or irrigation runs where a clean square cut is essential for proper fitting connections.

The GENERAL 115 is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving flexible rubber hose, PVC pipe, and plastic tubing in the 1-inch to 2-inch outside diameter range. Typical install scenarios include HVAC condensate drain lines, plumbing supply and drain stub-outs, and pool or irrigation lateral lines where a hand cutter provides more control than a saw and eliminates the need for deburring when cuts are made correctly.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, pool service pros, and general tradespeople. Before cutting tubing connected to an active system, shut off flow and relieve any pressure in the line. Score and rotate the cutter gradually rather than forcing through the material in a single pass to achieve a clean, square cut. Verify the cut end is free of deformation before seating into a fitting.
