AC Cartridge & Nozzle Cutter
Professional Cartridge and Nozzle Cutting Tool
The AC Cartridge & Nozzle Cutter is a compact, reusable tool designed for safer and more accurate preparation of sealant and adhesive cartridges. Its practical 2-in-1 design allows installers to cut both the sealed cartridge nipple and the dispensing nozzle using one purpose-designed tool.
Use the cartridge cutting section to remove the sealed end before attaching the nozzle. Once fitted, the nozzle cutter creates a clean, controlled opening at the required angle, helping installers achieve the appropriate bead size for the application.
Cut the cartridge nipple, fit the nozzle and trim it ready for application.

Two Cutting Functions in One Tool
Cartridge Cutter
The dedicated cartridge cutting section removes the sealed end of the cartridge’s threaded nipple. This prepares the cartridge so that the dispensing nozzle can be screwed securely into position.
Nozzle Cutter
After fitting the nozzle, use the second cutting section to trim it to the required opening and angle. Adjusting the position of the cut allows the nozzle opening to be matched more closely to the required sealant or adhesive bead size.

Safer, Cleaner Cartridge Preparation
Cutting cartridge seals and dispensing nozzles with an exposed utility knife can be awkward, particularly when working on site or wearing protective gloves. This purpose-designed cartridge opening tool helps keep hands away from the blade during normal use while providing a cleaner and more controlled cut.
When work is complete, select the OFF position and store the cutter safely with your other sealant application tools. Always follow the cartridge manufacturer’s instructions and the applicable site safety procedures.
