BEHIND THE NUMBERS

How this calculation works.

Cut = reference distance − total supplied fitting takeout + inserted end count × supplied insertion depth + cut extra. All fitting reference points, takeouts and insertion depths must come from your supplied dimensional specification.

Cut = reference distance − total supplied fitting takeout + inserted end count × supplied insertion depth + cut extra.Calculated with normalised units

Whole pipe stock lengths: 1 lengths

Continuous cuts use decreasing-length first-fit packing. This is a feasible count, not a guarantee of the minimum. Any per-cut extra is explicitly reserved by you. The reference convention must match your fitting drawing.

Before you purchase

Use dimensions from your plan and properties from your chosen product. Any design spacing, section or fixing pattern must already be specified.

All fitting reference points, takeouts and insertion depths must come from your supplied dimensional specification.

All dimensions, properties and application patterns are user-supplied. No building-code default is inserted.

Method: dimensional arithmetic and user-supplied specifications. Software checks: 2026-10-06. Calculation and review policy.
