TC1 Pneumatic Tubing Cutter
The TC1 is a hand tubing cutter for producing clean, square cuts in common pneumatic tubing before insertion into push-to-connect fittings.
A square, burr-free tube end supports proper seal engagement and reduces the risk of leakage, damaged seals or unreliable tube retention.

Why a Square Tube Cut Matters
Push-to-connect fittings seal on the outside diameter of the tubing. A clean, perpendicular cut helps the tube seat fully against the internal stop and seal correctly.
Typical Applications
- Pneumatic machine assembly
- Vacuum automation tubing
- Maintenance and repair
- Control panels and manifolds
- Field installation of push-to-connect fittings
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use a tubing cutter instead of scissors?+
A purpose-made cutter helps create a cleaner, more square cut, which improves sealing and tube retention in push-to-connect fittings.
What tubing can it cut?+
The source product data specifies polyurethane, nylon and polyethylene pneumatic tubing.
Do I need to deburr the tube?+
A clean cutter normally minimizes burrs, but inspect the end before insertion and remove any damage or deformation.
How should tubing be installed after cutting?+
Push the tube fully into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, following the fitting manufacturer’s instructions.
