The Virax 210487 (Model ZR 35 Plastic) is a premium, professional-grade telescopic quick-advance plastic and composite pipe cutter. Designed by the French manufacturer Virax, this compact tool is optimized for plumbing professionals who need clean, square cuts on multilayer and plastic lines without crushing or cracking the tubing. It is the identical brand twin to the Facom 334C.35M (previously legacy 334B.35M), sharing the exact same physical chassis engineering but packaged in Virax's distinctive blue colorway.
- Cutting Capacity: Handles pipe outer diameters ranging from 3 mm to 32 mm (1/8" to 1 ¼" OD).
- Material Compatibility: Engineered specifically for PVC, PEX, PP, PE, composite, and multilayer tubing.
- Maximum Wall Thickness: Slices cleanly through tough plastic or composite frames up to 3.0 mm thick.
