ROCUT 160 Basic Unit Cutting and Chamfering System

The ROCUT 160 Basic Unit system by Rothenberger (item code 55030) is a professional tool designed for precise cutting and chamfering of plastic pipes with diameters up to 160 mm. This tool is the ideal solution for plumbers, maintenance technicians, and construction professionals who require accurate and clean results during pipe installation or repair operations.

Key Features

The ROCUT 160 stands out for its robust die-cast aluminum construction, which ensures durability and resistance even in the most demanding working conditions. Its ergonomic structure allows for a firm and comfortable grip, reducing fatigue during prolonged use. The system is equipped with high-strength hardened steel blades that ensure clean and precise cuts, maintaining their sharpness even after numerous operations.

Versatility of Use

This cutting system is compatible with various types of plastic pipes, including PVC, PE, PP, and PVDF, making it extremely versatile for multiple applications. The cutting capacity ranges from 110 mm to 160 mm in diameter, thus covering most needs in the plumbing and construction sectors. The ROCUT 160 is particularly suitable for:

• Installation of drainage systems
• Laying of potable water pipes
• Irrigation systems
• Industrial plants
• Sewer networks

Integrated Chamfering Function

A distinctive feature of the ROCUT 160 is its integrated chamfering function which, with a simple adjustment, allows the pipe end to be prepared for welding or gluing. This functionality eliminates the need for additional tools, saving time and ensuring optimal joint preparation. The chamfer is made at a precise 15° angle, ideal for most jointing applications.

Ease of Use

The system is designed to be intuitive and easy to use, even for less experienced operators. The quick-locking mechanism securely positions the pipe, while the ergonomic lever allows the necessary force to be applied with minimal effort. The complete rotation around the pipe is smooth and controlled, ensuring cuts perfectly perpendicular to the pipe's axis.
