Milwaukee 48-22-4252 Copper Tubing Cutter 1/8-1-5/8 in

Product Description

The Milwaukee 48-22-4252 is a constant swing copper tubing cutter designed for trade professionals who need straighter, cleaner cuts on copper pipe and tubing. The four-roller design keeps the cutter tracking true on the pipe, preventing walking during the cut. Chrome-plated rollers resist rust for extended service life in field and shop environments. An on-board reamer is integrated into the tool for fast deburring without switching to a separate tool. The cutter handles pipe from 1/8 inch up to 1-5/8 inch in diameter, covering the range most commonly encountered in plumbing and HVAC rough-in work.

This cutter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, HVAC refrigerant line sets, and hydronic piping applications where copper tubing is the primary material. The constant swing design means the cutting wheel advances with each rotation without requiring the user to reset the feed, which speeds up repetitive cuts on production work or multi-fixture rough-ins. Plumbers and HVAC technicians working in tight mechanical rooms or confined spaces benefit from the consistent swing geometry that limits the clearance needed around the pipe.

Key Features

• Constant swing mechanism advances the cutting wheel automatically for faster cuts
• Four-roller design prevents cutter from walking off the cut line
• Chrome rollers provide rust resistance for extended tool life
• On-board reamer allows immediate deburring without a separate tool
• 1/8 inch to 1-5/8 inch pipe capacity covers common copper tubing sizes

Compatibility

Designed for use on copper tubing and pipe ranging from 1/8 inch to 1-5/8 inch outside diameter, consistent with Type K, L, and M copper tubing sizes standard in plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of cut copper tubing should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with the International Plumbing Code or applicable local code. Ensure the pipe is fully supported and the system is depressurized and drained before cutting into an existing line. After cutting, use the on-board reamer to remove the inner burr before fitting or soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Wear appropriate eye protection when cutting and reaming.
