Made of materials that are FM approved, these cutters satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. They're also nonmagnetic.

Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.

Add a new branch to pressurized water and steam lines without costly downtime. No need to shut off flow and empty the line. With these kits, you can safely cut holes in pipes while they’re still under pressure. Attach them at any angle around the pipe to route a new branch in any direction. They’re lightweight enough for one person to operate by hand.

These kits include a drill bit pilot with wire or retaining magnets to catch cutout pieces of pipe, so they won’t fall into your line. Before cutting into pipe, attach a saddle tap tee and on/off valve (both not included) to seal the section where you intend to cut. Insert the tapping kit through the open valve, cut the hole with your drill, and then close the valve before removing the kit to prevent fluid from spraying out.

Kits include grommets of a single size and all the tools you need to install them. The grommets add a protective metal ring to a hole so rope and cable don’t tear your tarp, cover, or curtain. Strike the cutting punch with a mallet to create a hole, then set the grommet using the installation punch and die set.
