to be repeated.
Cut the pipe using a pipe cutter.

Ensure the pipe cutter rollers remain perfectly seated on the
copper pipe.
Remove any internal burrs arising from the pipe cutter using a pipe
reamer.

• While making the cut, slant the pipe downwards to prevent burrs or shavings from falling inside the pipe.
• Do not use hand saws, circular saws, abrasive grinders or other tools that generate shavings.
• Strictly follow national or local regulations regarding occupational health and safety.
• Wear appropriate means of protection during cutting or brazing operations and installation (gloves, eye
