Tubing installation accessories complete the pneumatic line build: a clean square cut, secure routing along structure, and protection from abrasion or interference. Norgren's accessory range covers the M:3314 tube cutter with replacement blades, tube clips for fastening lines along beams, panels and machine frames, and tubing channels for protected cable / tube routing. These are install-and-forget items that keep a pneumatic system tidy and reliable for years.
Tube cutter
Replacement blade for the M:3314 tube cutter. Keep a spare on every service van and bench — a dull blade compresses tubing instead of cutting cleanly, defeating the purpose of using a cutter at all. Easy field replacement.
Plastic tube clips for fastening pneumatic tubing along beams, panels, machine frames or enclosures. Multiple sizes for common Norgren tube diameters. Snap-on installation; can be screwed or riveted to the surface. Keeps lines on a defined path, away from heat and abrasion.
Plastic tubing channel (cable tray-style) for protected routing of multiple pneumatic lines through enclosures and along chassis. Open top for easy lay-in / take-out; sized for typical pneumatic tube bundles. Reduces visual clutter and protects lines from mechanical damage.
Technically yes, practically no. A knife or scissors deforms the cross-section — pinches it into an oval — and may leave a burr. A push-in fitting's grab-ring relies on a round, square, burr-free cross-section to seal. A pinched cut is the single most common cause of slow leaks at push-in fittings on a new install. The M:3314 cutter is a 5-minute investment that pays back on the first installation.
When the cutter starts compressing the tube before cutting — you'll feel the resistance increase and see a slightly dished cross-section instead of a clean cut. For a busy installer, that means replacing the blade periodically — harder tube materials dull it sooner. Keep one or two spare blades on hand.
Match the clip's nominal size to the tube outside diameter. Norgren tube clips come in the standard PA/PU sizes (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 mm). For mixed bundles, use a tubing channel instead of clips — channels accept multiple lines without size matching.
