Detailed Description
The RIDGID Press Snap Soil Pipe Cutter expands what your press platform can do, turning a standard RIDGID press tool into a precise, jobsite-ready cutter for cast iron soil pipe. Instead of wrestling with long handles or hunting for clearance, you simply connect the Press Snap head, loop the chain around the pipe, and press the trigger. The tool’s hydraulic force applies even compression around the pipe circumference to snap the pipe cleanly—no scoring passes, no cutting wheels, and no sparks.
This approach is especially helpful in finished spaces and tight mechanical rooms where long-throw manual cutters are awkward and abrasive methods are messy. Because you’re leveraging a battery press tool you already own, the setup is lighter, the workflow is faster, and the cut quality is consistently professional. The chain mechanism distributes force evenly to help reduce cracked edges and rework, and the compact form factor makes overhead or vertical cuts more manageable.
For technicians focused on productivity and safety, the Press Snap provides a clean, controlled alternative to grinders and wet saws. Connect it to RIDGID Standard Series pressing tools—CT-400, 320-E, RP 330-B, RP 330-C, and RP 340—and you’re ready to make reliable, spark-free cuts with minimal cleanup.
Use Cases
- Remodels & Service Calls: Cut cast iron stacks and branches during fixture change-outs without bringing in bulky equipment.
- Tight & Overhead Work: Make clean, spark-free cuts where abrasive wheels are impractical or restricted.
- Occupied Facilities: Hospitals, schools, restaurants, and multi-family buildings where low-mess methods matter.
- Repair & Replacement: Quickly remove damaged sections and prep ends for no-hub couplings.
In summary, the RIDGID Press Snap Soil Pipe Cutter helps pros move faster, cut cleaner, and work safer—especially in confined or finished spaces where control and cleanliness are critical.
