Product Description
Milwaukee 12 in. PVC/ABS Saw
Model Number: 48-22-0212
The Milwaukee 48-22-0212 is a 12 in. PVC/ABS Saw — a professional fixed-blade hand saw engineered for clean, smooth cuts in PVC pipe, ABS pipe, CPVC pipe, and plastic conduit in plumbing, electrical, and HVAC installation and service work. Milwaukee's PVC/ABS-specific tooth geometry produces flat, smooth-faced cut ends with minimal burring for proper solvent weld, compression, and mechanical joint connections — standard wood-cutting saws produce rough, splintered cut ends in plastic pipe because their tooth geometry is designed for wood fiber shearing rather than the controlled plastic-cutting action the PVC/ABS specification delivers. The tool-free blade change mechanism allows fast field blade replacement without additional tools when the blade dulls from sustained plastic cutting use.
The compact 12 in. blade length provides adequate reach for cutting standard residential plastic pipe diameters — 1/2 in. through 2 in. PVC, ABS, and CPVC for the residential drain, waste, and vent applications and supply line work that represent the majority of residential plumbing plastic pipe cutting. The 12 in. compact length also fits more easily in a tool bag or tool bucket alongside other plumbing tools compared to the 18 in. version, making it the practical everyday carry choice for service plumbers and HVAC technicians who need a dedicated plastic pipe saw without the bulk of the larger format. Milwaukee manufactures the saw body and blade retention to professional durability standards for maintaining accurate, straight-cutting blade alignment throughout the saw's service life in daily professional use.
The 18 in. version (48-22-0218) is available for larger pipe diameters — see Milwaukee's complete PVC saw and accessory lineup for all available sizes and replacement blades.
