Vesda PIP-014 — the pipe cutter catalogued by Xtralis within the VESDA aspirating pipe and fittings range.
This is an installation hand tool, not a detection device. It appears in a fire alarm catalog only because Xtralis sells it within the VESDA air sampling pipework range, listed under the heading Pipes and Pipe Cutters beside the ABS sampling pipe it cuts.
- Xtralis catalog entry: PIP-014, Pipe Cutter, VESDA Pipes and Fittings
- Listed with VESDA ABS sampling pipe supplied in 2.4 m lengths at 25 mm outside diameter, 21 mm inside diameter
- Xtralis states pipe outside diameter across that range runs 19 mm to 25 mm (0.75 to 1 in)
- That pipe is ABS, certified to EN 54–20 and EN 61386–1
- An Xtralis bulletin of October 2023 names PIP-014 as the replacement for discontinued 761546.10, Pipe cutter for PVC/ABS pipes
Watch the range split: the UL VESDA pipe range sold in North America is CPVC on a 3/4" bore and lists VP-CUTTERS as its cutter, while PIP-014 sits in the metric 25 mm ABS range. Neighbouring PIP numbers are unrelated — PIP-012 is solvent cement, PIP-013 pipe ties.
