Ridgid 41608 Drain Pipe Cutter 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 Inch

Product Description

The RIDGID 41608 is a drain pipe cutter designed to make clean, square cuts on nominal 1-1/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch drain pipe. Built for plumbers and drain service technicians, this cutter handles the pipe sizes most common in residential and light commercial drain, waste, and vent (DWV) rough-in and repair work. The ergonomic grip handle reduces hand fatigue during repeated cuts, making it practical for high-volume installations or service calls where multiple fittings need to be removed and replaced.

This tool is suited for plumbers working on sink drain assemblies, P-trap replacements, and DWV branch lines where 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe is standard. It is appropriate for both rough-in new construction and retrofit service work. The compact design allows use in tight cabinet spaces and confined utility areas where a full pipe cutter or reciprocating saw would be difficult to maneuver.

Key Features

• Cuts nominal 1-1/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch drain pipe
• Ergonomic grip handle for reduced hand fatigue during repetitive cutting
• Designed for clean, square cuts to ensure proper fitting seating
• Compact form factor suited for confined spaces such as under-sink cabinet access

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cutting tool for use on nominal 1-1/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch drain pipe commonly found in residential and light commercial DWV systems.

Installation Notes

This tool is typically used by licensed plumbers performing drain, waste, and vent work in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Before cutting any drain line, shut off water supply to the affected fixture and have towels or a bucket ready to capture residual water in the line. Inspect the cut end for burrs and deburr as needed before seating fittings to ensure a leak-free connection.
