Sioux Chief 304-08 Plastic Tube Cutter, 2-1/4" Blade, 1-1/8" O.D. Max

Sioux Chief 304-08 Plastic Tube Cutter, 2-1/4" Blade, 1-1/8" O.D. Max

The Sioux Chief 304-08 is a hand-held plastic tube cutter built for rough-in plumbing work, designed to quickly cut PEX, PVC, CPVC and other poly pipe or non-metallic hose up to 1-1/8" O.D. Its 2-1/4" blade is sized to produce a clean, square cut in a single pass, which helps keep fitting connections tight when the cut tube goes on to a crimp ring, compression fitting or solvent-weld joint. Because the cutter is a dedicated hand tool rather than a fixed-size gauge, it works across the range of tube diameters a plumber typically runs behind walls, under floors and through rough-in stub-outs. Manufactured in Taiwan and packaged 72 EA per case, the 304-08 is built for stocking on the truck or at the counter for day-to-day PEX and CPVC rough-in work.

Key Features

• Cutting Capacity: Handles tube up to 1-1/8" O.D., covering the common PEX, PVC and CPVC pipe sizes used in residential and light commercial rough-in plumbing.
• 2-1/4" Blade: A dedicated cutting blade sized for fast, single-motion cuts through poly pipe and non-metallic hose without deforming the tube wall.
• Multi-Material Cutting: Rated to cut PEX, PVC, CPVC and other poly pipe or non-metallic hose, making it a single tool for mixed rough-in materials on the same job.
• Replacement Blades Available: The cutting blade can be replaced separately from the tool body, extending the working life of the cutter instead of requiring a full replacement when the edge dulls.
• Compact Hand Tool: Sized for one-handed use when cutting tube and tubing in tight rough-in spaces behind walls, under floors and inside stub-out cavities.
• Job-Site Ready: A dedicated tube cutter avoids the ragged, uneven cuts that a hacksaw or utility knife can leave on PEX and CPVC tube ends.

Why Sioux Chief?

Sioux Chief builds rough-in plumbing tools and fittings for professional installers, and the 304-08 tube cutter reflects that focus with a dedicated 2-1/4" blade sized for fast, repeatable cuts and a replacement-blade option that keeps the tool working instead of being thrown away when the edge wears down.

Packaged 72 EA per case, it is a straightforward addition to a truck stock or supply house counter alongside the PEX and CPVC fittings it is used to prep.
