Rothenberger - ROSLICE Plastic Pipe Cutter up to 12mm - 88812

Professional Pipe Cutter for Plastic Pipes

The Rothenberger ROSLICE 12mm (item code 88812) is a professional tool specifically designed for the precise cutting of plastic pipes with a diameter up to 12 mm. This compact and handy tool is the ideal solution for plumbers, heating technicians, and professionals who require clean and precise cuts on plastic materials such as PE, PP, PB, PEX, and multi-layer pipes.

Technical Specifications

The ROSLICE pipe cutter stands out for its robust construction made with high-quality materials that guarantee durability and wear resistance even after intensive use. The hardened special steel blade ensures clean, burr-free cuts, eliminating the need for additional finishing. The cutting mechanism is designed to operate with minimal effort, thanks to optimized geometry that evenly distributes pressure during the operation.

Compact dimensions of only 14 cm in length and a low weight of approximately 70 grams make this tool easily transportable in a pocket or tool bag. The cutting capacity reaches up to 12 mm external diameter, covering most domestic applications and many light industrial applications.

Practical Advantages

Using the ROSLICE 12mm offers numerous benefits compared to traditional cutting methods. Cutting precision is significantly superior, with perfectly perpendicular surfaces that facilitate subsequent joining operations. The absence of burrs reduces the risk of contamination in hydraulic systems and prevents potential leaks in connections.

• Perfectly perpendicular cut without tube deformation
• One-hand operation leaving the other hand free to stabilize the tube
• No need for electrical power or batteries
• Minimal maintenance required
• Simple blade replacement when necessary
• Ergonomic design that reduces fatigue during prolonged use

Main Applications

The ROSLICE is used in multiple sectors and applications where precise cutting of small-diameter plastic pipes is required. In domestic plumbing, it is perfect for installing potable water systems, underfloor heating, and appliance connections. In the industrial sector, it is used for pneumatic systems, fluid transport lines, and refrigeration systems.

Irrigation system installers particularly appreciate the precision and ease of use during the laying of distribution networks in gardens and greenhouses. It also finds application in modeling and hobbies for cutting plastic tubes used in creative projects and repairs.

Instructions for Optimal Use

To achieve the best results with the ROSLICE pipe cutter, position the pipe within the open jaw, then close the tool with firm but controlled pressure. The blade will progressively penetrate the plastic material until the cut is completed with a fluid motion. For harder materials, it may be necessary to rotate the tool slightly during the operation.

Rothenberger recommends keeping the blade clean and sharp to ensure consistent performance over time. In case of frequent use, it is advisable to occasionally lubricate the opening/closing mechanism to maintain its smooth operation.

Warranty and Assistance

Like all Rothenberger products, the ROSLICE 12mm is covered by a warranty against manufacturing defects. The German company, with over 70 years of experience in producing professional tools, guarantees the availability of spare parts and technical assistance through its network of authorized distributors.
