Fitted and compressed olives need to be removed from pipes for many reasons. Usually because a new fitting or valve needs to be installed and the section of pipe needs to stay the same length. This is often in a very restricted area. The Rothenberger Olive Splitter is a great way of removing olives on 15mm to 28mm pipe in open and restricted areas. Some people tend to use a hack saw which can leave a groove or mark in the pipe, potentially making a leak path. Our Olive Splitter removes olives quickly and neatly, leaving the pipe un-damaged.
