Sharkbite 23369A Pex Pipe Cutter Tool 1/2 3/4 1 Inch

Product Description

The SHARKBITE CASH ACME 23369A is a dedicated PEX pipe cutter designed for clean, square cuts on PEX tubing in plumbing and hydronic heating installations. It handles 1/2 inch, 3/4 inch, and 1 inch PEX pipe without requiring adjustment between sizes. The tool automatically adjusts to the pipe diameter when inserted into the cutting chamber. Operation is straightforward: push the pipe into the cutting chamber, rotate the cutter in the direction of the arrow, then squeeze the handles to release. Weighing 1.4 pounds, it is compact enough to fit in tight spaces typical of rough-in and retrofit plumbing work. Licensed plumbers and PEX-system installers are the primary users.

This cutter is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where PEX tubing is used for potable water supply lines, radiant floor heating, and hydronic distribution systems. Its auto-adjusting mechanism makes it practical on job sites where multiple PEX pipe sizes are run in the same installation, eliminating the need to carry multiple cutting tools. The compact form factor helps when working inside walls, crawl spaces, or mechanical rooms where swing clearance is limited.

Installation Notes

Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before cutting into any live PEX system. A licensed plumber should perform work on potable water systems in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Ensure the cut end is clean and square before inserting into any fitting to maintain a proper seal. Inspect the blade periodically and replace if cuts become ragged or require excessive force.
