KOPEX Pipe Slice 15mm to 22mm

The Kopex Pipe Slice is a compact cutter for copper pipe that you work with one hand. It clips straight over the pipe, adjusts and locks itself, and cuts cleanly as you twist it round. It comes in 15mm and 22mm sizes.

Where the Kopex pipe slice earns its place

Tight spots are what it is built for. With little clearance between the pipe and a wall, floor or joist, a normal cutter cannot turn, but a pipe slice can. It cuts without crushing the tube and avoids the outside burr that some cutters leave. So the pipe end is ready for a Compression or Push-Fit joint with little or no tidying.

• Sizes: 15mm and 22mm
• For copper pipe
• One-handed, self-adjusting and self-locking
• Zinc and steel construction

Make sure the pipe is clean, then push the tool over it at the mark. Turn it round the pipe until it parts. Do not force it, because the blade does the work. Keep it free of grit, and replace it if the cut starts to wander. Other cutters are in our pipe slice range.

Common Questions

How do I use a Kopex pipe slice?

Clip it over the pipe at your mark and turn it round the pipe. It adjusts and locks itself, so keep turning steadily until the pipe parts.

Do I need the 15mm or the 22mm Kopex?

Each one cuts only its own size, so buy the one that matches the pipe. Plenty of fitters keep both, as 15mm and 22mm cover most house work.

Is a pipe slice better than an adjustable cutter?

In a tight gap, yes, because it needs very little room to turn. An adjustable cutter covers more sizes, so most vans carry one of each.
