Bernardo RAA Pipe Notcher – for pipes up to 3 mm
The RAA manual pipe notcher is designed to create precise and clean notches on steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and copper pipes, up to 3 mm thick. Ideal for preparing 90° joints for welding, it allows working with different pipe diameters using a single machine.
Thanks to the eccentric shaft that reduces the required effort, the operator can achieve accurate results with minimal fatigue. The cut surfaces are clean and burr-free, eliminating the need for further processing. The compact structure, ready for wall mounting, makes the RAA perfect for both artisan workshops and professional environments with limited space.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pipe notcher and what is it used for?
The Bernardo RA series pipe notcher creates a circumferential indentation (notch/groove) on the pipe, necessary for pressure assembly with press-fit fittings (Pressfit, Viega, Geberit, Mapress). The fitting is pressed into the notch, creating a hermetic, weld-free connection. It is the standard machine in press-fit plumbing systems.
What pipe diameters does the Bernardo RAA Pipe Notcher work with?
Check the specific diameter range in the technical table for the Bernardo RAA Pipe Notcher. Bernardo RA series notchers typically cover standard plumbing system diameters (from 15 to 108 mm). Contact Krollit for compatibility with specific diameters.
Does it work with fittings from all manufacturers?
The notch created follows standard ISO 6182/EN 10242 norms. Compatible with Viega, Geberit, Mapress, Aalberts and other standard press-fit systems. For proprietary systems with specific notching profiles, check compatibility with the fitting manufacturer.
Are replacement tools (notching wheels) available?
Yes. Original Bernardo notching wheels and spare parts for the RA series are available with 3–5 business days shipping.
Is assistance available?
Original spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
