Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PIPE-PRO from 3G Electric.
What pipe sizes does the PIPE-PRO MEKIT multi-angle pipe-cutting guide set cover?
The PIPE-PRO MEKIT set covers pipe outside diameters of 1 7/8 in, 2 3/8 in, and 2 7/8 in. It includes guides for each of those sizes and supports cutting angles of 45°, 22.5°, and 90°. The set is intended for marking and cutting metal pipe in plumbing, HVAC, and fabrication work. Individual guides for the same sizes are also available as part numbers 178M, 238M, and 278M. The MEKIT set is identified by manufacturer part number MEKIT and is listed under SKU 18C551 in the 3G Electric catalog.
What is the difference between the PIPE-PRO MEKIT and MEKIT-LG guide sets?
The MEKIT set covers smaller pipe sizes: 1 7/8 in, 2 3/8 in, and 2 7/8 in. The MEKIT-LG set covers larger pipe sizes: 3 1/2 in and 4 1/2 in. Both sets provide guides for cutting angles of 45°, 22.5°, and 90°. The MEKIT-LG set is listed under SKU 18C552 with manufacturer part number MEKIT-LG. The MEKIT set is listed under SKU 18C551 with manufacturer part number MEKIT. Selection depends on the outside diameter of the pipe being cut.
Which PIPE-PRO guide fits 3 1/2 in pipe?
The PIPE-PRO guide for 3 1/2 in pipe is part number 312M, listed under SKU 18C549. It supports cutting angles of 45°, 22.5°, and 90°. It is also included in the MEKIT-LG set, which covers 3 1/2 in and 4 1/2 in pipe. The guide is used to mark and cut metal pipe at the supported angles. For 4 1/2 in pipe, the matching individual guide is part number 412M, listed under SKU 18C550.
What cutting angles do PIPE-PRO multi-angle pipe-cutting guides support?
PIPE-PRO multi-angle pipe-cutting guides support 45°, 22.5°, and 90° cutting angles. This applies across the individual guides and the multi-angle sets in the line. The angles cover common miter, offset, and square-cut requirements in metal pipe fabrication, plumbing, and HVAC work. Each guide is sized to a specific pipe outside diameter, and the angle capability is the same regardless of guide diameter. The guides are used with standard cutting torches or saws to mark and follow the cut line.
What pipe diameter does the PIPE-PRO 238M guide fit?
The PIPE-PRO 238M guide fits a pipe outside diameter of 2 3/8 in. It supports cutting angles of 45°, 22.5°, and 90°. It is listed under SKU 18C547. The same diameter is also covered in the MEKIT set, which includes guides for 1 7/8 in, 2 3/8 in, and 2 7/8 in pipe. The 238M is used for marking and cutting metal pipe at the supported angles in plumbing, HVAC, and structural piping applications.
Are PIPE-PRO pipe-cutting guides available as individual sizes or only as sets?
PIPE-PRO pipe-cutting guides are available both as individual guides and as multi-angle sets. Individual guides include part numbers 178M (1 7/8 in), 238M (2 3/8 in), 278M (2 7/8 in), 312M (3 1/2 in), and 412M (4 1/2 in). Sets include MEKIT (1 7/8 in, 2 3/8 in, 2 7/8 in) and MEKIT-LG (3 1/2 in, 4 1/2 in). All support 45°, 22.5°, and 90° cutting angles. 3G Electric lists the individual guides and sets with manufacturer part numbers and SKU-level detail for procurement.
