Lenox TC1-3/4 Tu Tubing Cutter 1/8 to 1-3/4 Inch

Product Description

The LENOX TC1-3/4 TU is a hand-operated tubing cutter designed for cutting copper tubing from 1/8 inch up to 1-3/4 inch outside diameter. A four-roller tracking system holds the tube steady during the cut, preventing the tube from threading off-axis and protecting the cutting wheel from premature wear. This tool is standard kit for HVAC technicians, plumbers, and refrigeration mechanics who need clean, square cuts on copper lines during installation or service work.

The TC1-3/4 TU is suited for residential and light commercial applications where copper tubing is common — refrigerant lines, domestic water supply, hydronic piping, and drain connections. Its cutting range covers the most frequently encountered copper tube sizes in the field, from small-diameter capillary and refrigerant work at 1/8 inch up through 1-3/4 inch lines. The tool is designed for repeated, reliable use without damaging the wheel between jobs.

Key Features

• Cuts copper tubing from 1/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch outside diameter
• Four-roller tracking system keeps the tube aligned and prevents threading during rotation
• Designed to protect the cutting wheel from damage during normal use
• Compact hand tool suited for tight-space installation and service work
• Compatible with standard copper tube sizes used in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration

Compatibility

Designed for use on copper tubing with an outside diameter between 1/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch, consistent with standard Type K, L, and M copper tube sizes used in plumbing and HVAC refrigerant line applications.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics. Before cutting into an existing system, relieve pressure, recover refrigerant per EPA Section 608 requirements, or shut off and drain water supply as applicable. Score the tubing evenly by rotating the cutter and advancing the feed screw gradually to avoid deforming the tube end. Deburr the cut end with a reamer or deburring tool before making any connections.
