Description

Model 238-P Powered Soil Pipe Cutter cuts cast iron pipe quickly and easily in tight spaces. The 238-P is designed to cut up to 8″ soil pipe when driven by an impact driver or 4″ with the included ratchet.

The RIDGID® 238-P Soil Pipe Cutter is used to cut a variety of cast iron soil pipe, concrete and clay pipe. It is a compact unit for use in closequarters. The 238-P Soil Pipe Cutter is designed to be actuated by a battery powered,corded or pneumatic 1/2″ drive impact tool. It can also be used manually with the included 1/2″ drive ratchet or a 11/8″ wrench for up to 4″ (100mm) nominal pipe. The 238-P uses a chain equipped with cutter wheels that is tightened around the pipe until the pipe breaks. The 238-P will cut service weight and no-hub cast iron soil pipe up to 8″ (200 mm) nominal diameter. The feedscrew is equipped with a hand knob for fast manual adjustment. A unique hooking mechanism makes connecting the chain easier.

Important Usage Note: An impact tool must have a torque rating of at least 200 Foot-pounds (271 N-m) for proper operation. Impacts with lower ratings may not cut all sizes and types of pipe. Do not use with impacts rated at over 400 Footpounds (542 N-m) of torque – this can damage the cutter.
