Ridge Tool Co 31622 Tubing Cutter 0.125-1.125 in

Product Description

The RIDGE TOOL CO 31622 is a compact tubing cutter designed for cutting copper, brass, and thin-wall tubing in tight spaces. It handles tubing from 0.125 inches up to 1.125 inches in outside diameter, making it a practical choice for HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration work where a full-size cutter cannot reach. The cutting wheel advances via a knurled feed knob, producing a clean, square cut with minimal deformation of the tubing wall. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics reach for this tool when working in confined runs behind walls, inside equipment cabinets, or along tight framing bays.

This cutter is suited for residential and light commercial applications involving small-diameter copper supply lines, refrigerant lines, and similar soft-metal tubing. Its compact frame allows operation in areas where swing clearance is limited. The 0.125-inch minimum capacity makes it useful for small capillary or instrumentation lines that full-size cutters cannot grip. It is sold in a package quantity of 6 units, making it a practical stock item for service vans or shop supply.

Key Features

• Cutting capacity of 0.125 inches to 1.125 inches outside diameter
• Compact frame designed for restricted-access installations
• Knurled feed knob for controlled wheel advancement and clean cuts
• Produces a square, burr-minimized cut face suitable for solder or press fittings
• Sold in a package quantity of 6 units for shop or fleet stocking

Compatibility

Designed for cutting copper, brass, and thin-wall soft-metal tubing with outside diameters between 0.125 inches and 1.125 inches, consistent with small-diameter refrigerant and plumbing supply line work.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or HVAC technician should depressurize and purge any line before cutting. Rotate the cutter around the tubing, advancing the feed knob by a quarter-turn each pass to avoid wheel skipping or tubing collapse. After cutting, ream the inside diameter to remove any inward burr before joining with solder, flare, or press fittings. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for the system being serviced.
