ABSTRACT:
A device and method for pipe replacement is shown. One advantage of devices and methods provided includes a splitting blade that provides a progressive cut into challenging pipe configurations such as ductile materials, thin walled pipes, corrugated pipes, or combinations of these properties. A pipe splitter and method is also shown that includes at least one hoop tensioning feature protruding from a body portion to pull the pipe against at least one splitting blade and increase splitting effectiveness.
