The RIDGID 226 In-Place Soil Pipe Cutter is a compact
tool (17" long) designed to cut hub and no-hub soil pipe,
especially where space is limited. The handle is removable
to allow use in tight spaces. The feedscrew is equipped
with a hand knob for fast adjustment, and a 15" long
drive ratchet is supplied for operation. If needed, the 226
can also be operated with any
wrench. The 226 uses a unique hooking mechanism to
make hooking the chain easier.

206 and 246 Soil Pipe Cutters
Figure 2 – 206/246 Soil Pipe Cutter
The RIDGID 206 and 246 Soil Pipe Cutters utilize an inte-
gral ratchet handle centered on the pipe. This is espe-
cially useful when cutting pipe in trenches, and helps keep
the width of the trench to a minimum. Both use a unique
hooking mechanism to make hooking the chain easier.
The 206 uses the same chain as the 226 and 276, while
the chain on the 246 is larger and allows it to cut 4" class 22
water main and 2" – 5" extra heavy duty soil pipe.
