Cutting

RIDGID® Soil Pipe Cutters are used to cut a variety of cast iron soil pipe and can also be used on concrete and clay pipe. All RIDGID Soil Pipe Cutters use chains equipped with cutter wheels that are tightened around the pipe until the pipe breaks. The 226, 206 and 286 all use the same chain assembly, while the 246 is supplied with a larger chain. All tools come standard with enough chain to cut pipe up to 6” nominal diameter, and with the addition of one chain extension can cut pipe up to 8” nominal diameter. All of the soil pipe cutters use a unique hooking mechanism to make hooking the chain easier. The RIDGID 206 and 246 Soil Pipe Cutters utilize an integral ratchet handle centered on the pipe. This is especially useful when cutting pipe in trenches, and helps keep the width of the trench to a minimum. The 206 uses the same chain as the 226 and 286, while the chain on the 246 is larger and allows it to cut 4” class 22 water main and 2” – 5” extra heavy duty soil pipe.
