The Rothenberger Pipeslice 22mm is the industry-standard tool for plumbing professionals who require clean, fast, and precise cuts in restricted spaces. Designed specifically for copper piping, this self-adjusting cutter eliminates the need for manual tightening, allowing for a smooth, one-handed operation that saves time on every job. Whether you are working under floorboards or behind heavy appliances, the Pipeslice ensures a burr-free finish every time.

Single-Handed Operation: The self-adjusting mechanism allows you to snap the tool onto the pipe and rotate, making it ideal for use in confined spaces where traditional cutters cannot reach.

Precision Cutting: Engineered to provide a clean, square cut on 22mm copper tubes, significantly reducing the amount of deburring required before soldering or jointing.

Robust Zinc Die-Cast Body: Built for the rigors of the job site, the durable housing protects the internal mechanism and ensures a long service life even with daily professional use.

In the world of professional plumbing and heating installation, efficiency and reliability are the foundations of a successful job. The Rothenberger Pipeslice Tube Cutter 22mm is more than just a hand tool; it is a specialized solution to one of the most common challenges on-site: cutting pipe in tight spots. When you are faced with a 22mm copper pipe tucked against a joist or buried deep within a kitchen carcass, a standard telescopic pipe cutter is often too bulky to rotate. This is where the Pipeslice excels.

The genius of the Pipeslice lies in its "snap-on" functionality. By utilizing a spring-loaded self-adjusting mechanism, the tool automatically applies the correct amount of pressure to the pipe wall. This removes the guesswork and the constant need to tighten a thumb screw after every revolution. Because the pressure is consistent, the risk of deforming the pipe—a common issue with manual cutters—is virtually eliminated. The result is a perfectly round, square-cut end that is ready for a professional fitting.

Constructed from a heavy-duty zinc die-cast material, the tool is designed to withstand the knocks and drops of a busy worksite. The internal cutting wheel is manufactured from high-grade steel, ensuring it stays sharper for longer. However, Rothenberger has also made maintenance simple; when the blade eventually wears down, it can be replaced quickly to restore the tool to its original performance levels.

Beyond its mechanical advantages, the Pipeslice is a massive time-saver. In a trade where "time is money," the ability to complete a cut in seconds with one hand allows you to move through your pipework runs at a much faster pace. Its compact profile ensures that it fits comfortably in a tool belt or pocket, making it an essential companion for any 22mm plumbing installation, from domestic radiator swaps to full-scale commercial boiler installs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this tool be used on stainless steel pipes?

No, the Rothenberger Pipeslice is specifically designed and calibrated for use on copper piping. Attempting to use it on harder materials like stainless steel will damage the cutting wheel and the internal mechanism.

Is the cutting wheel replaceable?

Yes, the cutting wheel can be easily replaced. It is recommended to use genuine Rothenberger replacement wheels to maintain the precision and longevity of the tool.

Does this cutter work on 15mm pipe as well?

This specific model is dedicated to 22mm pipe. Because it is a self-adjusting, fixed-size cutter, you would need the 15mm version of the Pipeslice for smaller diameter pipework.
