It handles tubing from 3\/16 inches to 15\/16 inches in diameter. The compact head profile allows access to tight installations such as those found behind walls, inside mechanical chases, and near structural obstructions. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics use this tool when space constraints make a full-size cutter impractical. The cutting wheel engages tubing with minimal clearance needed, producing a clean, square cut without the need for a reciprocating saw or pipe shears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cutter is suited for residential and light commercial applications where copper tubing runs are installed close to framing, joists, or other fixed structures. It is commonly used during rough-in plumbing, HVAC line set work, and refrigeration service calls. The 3\/16 to 15\/16 inch capacity range covers the most common small-diameter copper tubing sizes used in these trades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose quarters design accesses confined spaces where standard tubing cutters cannot fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutting capacity range of 3\/16 inches to 15\/16 inches covers common small-diameter copper tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces a clean, square cut to reduce deburring time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact tool profile reduces clearance requirements in tight installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in a package quantity of 6 units per order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use close quarters tubing cutter for small-diameter copper tubing applications in plumbing, HVAC, and refrigeration service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tool is intended for use by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and refrigeration mechanics working with small-diameter copper tubing. Always depressurize and drain the line before cutting into an existing system. Deburr the cut end before flaring, swaging, or soldering to ensure a leak-free joint. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and IFGC requirements for tubing connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Capacity (Minimum)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Capacity (Maximum)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RIDGE TOOL CO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 32985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RIDGID","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525419204914,"sku":"32985","price":171.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5bc4b9e70591db6acbfe72f85e7f5884.jpg?v=1785473218","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ridge-tool-co-32985-close-quarters-tubing-cutter","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
