The KAS Flex Hose Cutter is a professional hand tool designed to cut stainless steel flexible hoses (flex) cleanly and accurately, especially when installing the in-apartment plumbing hoses known as "KAS-TAK".
The main features and benefits of the product are:
1. What Is It Used For?
Smooth Cut: Makes a clean cut between the corrugations of stainless steel flex hoses without damaging the hose structure.
Preparation: Helps leave the cut hose end smooth and square, ready for fittings or flaring.
2. Key Features
Special Blade Design: Has high-strength cutting wheels that can cut hard materials such as stainless steel.
Precise Adjustment: The adjustable screw mechanism adapts to the hose diameter (DN12, DN16, DN20, etc.), making it compatible with flex hoses of different sizes.
Ergonomic Design: Lets installers cut the hose easily by rotating it, even in tight spaces.
3. How to Use
Positioning: Place the flex hose to be cut between the rollers and the cutting blade of the tool.
Tightening: Using the adjusting screw, seat the blade exactly in the gap between two corrugations of the hose.
Rotating: Rotate the tool one turn around the hose; as the blade cuts deeper, tighten the screw slightly more until the cut is complete.
Result: When the cut is finished, the hose end is separated without crushing or burrs.
4. Why Is It Important?
Cuts made with a standard hacksaw or angle grinder can crush the corrugations of the flex hose or leave burrs. This leads to sealing problems when the fitting is installed. The KAS Flex Hose Cutter is the safest way to ensure gas- and water-tightness.
Tip: After cutting, you can use the KAS Flaring Tool on the pipe end to create a surface on which the connection fitting will seat perfectly.
