Reed 04604 HPC4+ Guillotine Pipe Cutter

Reed HPC4 Description

Robust Guillotine Pipe Cutters are designed to cut PE pipe from SDR15.5 to SDR9 within 1/8" (3 mm) of square on medium and high-density pipe. HPC12 is designed for DIPS and IPS PE pipe from SDR17 to SDR9.3. Brass bushings in HPC12 crosshead feed assembly yield smooth feed and more consistent blade alignment. The accurate cuts from Reed Guillotine Cutters mean no facing is needed for electrofusion and only minimal facing for butt fusion joints. Durable, non-stick coated blade makes many square cuts with no chips to clog valves and small openings. Slight taper on blade allows an easy start to the cut, and holds form for a nice, straight cut. Blades are easy to sharpen or replace. NOTES: Temperature impacts pipe density. Cold temperatures (below freezing) can significantly shorten blade life. Blade is very sharp. Take care when reaching in that area. For operator and blade safety, always transport the cutter with the blade fully seated in the base of the cutter. Use the blade guard if available since it protects the blade and the operator. Reed strongly recommends use of the PEGR Grounding Accessory (#04619) with Guillotine Cutters. Use a grounding accessory as a precaution against static build-up. Dissipate the charge and minimize the possibility of ignition. HPCs cut PE only and will not cut PVC or PP (polypropylene) pipe, such as Aquatherm®.
