Superior 37516 Internal Pvc Pipe Cutter 1-1/4 Inch

Product Description

The SUPERIOR 37516 is an internal pipe cutter designed for cutting drain stubs flush to floor level and repairing broken pipes in place. The tool accepts pipes from 1-1/4 inches up to 10 inches in diameter and works on PVC (polyvinyl chloride), CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), and ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) pipe materials. A heat-treated saw-tooth steel blade with a 1.25-inch diameter handles the cut. The 3-inch shaft connects to a standard 3/8-inch electric drill via a quick-disconnect feature, letting the tech work fast without specialty tooling. Total weight is 0.267 pounds, making it easy to maneuver in tight floor-level spaces.

This cutter is used in residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a pipe has broken below a fitting or stub protruding from a concrete slab or subfloor. It is particularly useful during drain repairs, remodels, or rough-in corrections where an external pipe cutter cannot access the cut zone. Plumbers reach for this tool when a drain stub needs to be trimmed flush without disturbing surrounding flooring or concrete.
