Sewer Tap Cutters for Cleaning

Carbide tipped cutters are generally recommended for cutting CPVC pipe in tapping applications. Their versatile design accommodates most pipeline materials, including thermoplastics like CPVC. These cutters can be custom-manufactured to adapt to any tapping machine and are available up to 72 inches in diameter, making them suitable for a range of CPVC pipe sizes.

The right cutter depends on the water pipe material. Carbide tipped cutters work with most pipeline materials including ductile iron and PVC water mains. HSS tipped cutters are ideal for steel water lines. Diamond segment cutters are best for concrete lined pipes. All styles can be adapted to any tapping machine and are available in large diameters for main-line water infrastructure work.

Schallert Enterprises manufactures diamond segment cutters up to 72 inches in diameter and carbide tipped cutters also up to 72 inches. HSS tipped cutters are available up to 48 inches in diameter. All cutter styles are custom-manufactured and can be adapted to any tapping machine, making them suitable for large-scale municipal and industrial sewer tapping projects.

Yes. All sewer tap cutter styles — HSS tipped, carbide tipped, and diamond segment — are specifically designed for hot tapping applications on pressurized pipelines. Hot tapping allows operators to make connections or cuts into live, pressurized lines without interrupting flow or shutting down service, which is critical for water, wastewater, and industrial pipeline operations.

Diamond segment cutters are specifically designed for tapping into concrete lined pipes. The diamond segments provide the hardness and abrasion resistance required to cut through concrete lining effectively. Schallert Enterprises manufactures diamond segment cutters up to 72 inches in diameter and can customize each cutter to fit the customer's tapping machine and specific project requirements.

Yes. Schallert Enterprises designs and manufactures all sewer tap cutters — including HSS tipped, carbide tipped, and diamond segment styles — to adapt to any tapping machine available on the market. Each cutter is custom-manufactured, so customers can specify their tapping machine model and the cutter will be engineered to fit precisely.
