Olive Cutter
Compression fittings are used in domestic plumbing for fitting radiators, valves and other plumbing fixtures. Inside the fitting, around the copper tube, sits a compression olive, ring or ferrule with tapered sides that forms the seal. When a compression fitting needs to be removed, so too does the olive. Today, it is available in two forms, the more common plier-type and the screw-type, which is useful where access is limited.
Maun 5653-200 Olive Cutter Plier Type Tool 22 mm
The Olive Cutter Plier Type Tool 22 mm is one of Maun’s top-selling olive cutters. The tool comprises two precision-set steel cutting edges for accurate cutting of brass or copper olives from copper
pipes. The pipe is threaded through the hole in the tool, and the olive centred. The handles are squeezed closed to force the blades up, cutting the olive free from the pipe.
The key features of this tool are its high-leverage design, top-quality steel cutting edges and smooth action with a return spring so the tool is self-opening. Maun has manufactured this original design since 1998. Its compound-lever action multiplies the hand force applied by 15 times at the cutting edge. The result is an accurate and effortless cutting of compression olives time and again – so no need to resort to a hacksaw or olive puller. The cutting edges are precision machined from high-quality steel, hardened and tempered to HRC 45 for durability. The handles are zinc-plated for durability and have soft plastic grips for added comfort.
The tool is 200 mm long
How To Use Unscrew the compression fitting from the pipe, exposing the olive. Position the tool over the centre of the olive. Squeeze the handles firmly together until you hear the olive “pop”. Open the handles and reposition the tool away from the pipe. Remove the split olive, leaving the pipe unmarked.
