An electric, chain-mounted system for cutting branch openings in non-pressurized pipe. Wheeler-Rex’s 1662 combines a powered cutting head, guided feed and water-valve assembly for clay, concrete, iron and plastic pipe with the appropriate cutter shell. The modular system mounts to 6–20-inch outside-diameter pipe with its standard chain setup; additional chain accommodates larger pipe.
