Loose Tube Longitudinal Stripper K-LS1

A solid box that swallows the tube and slits it into two halves: feed the loose tube through the hole that matches it — 1.5–1.9, 2.0–2.4, 2.5–2.9 or 3.0–3.3 mm — close the hinged lid, and draw the box along. The alloy blade inside splits the tube wall lengthwise, ready to peel away from the fibers.

Four holes through the edge, one for each standard loose tube: 1.5–1.9, 2.0–2.4, 2.5–2.9 and 3.0–3.3 mm — the tube itself passes through the box, so it is guided straight and cannot wander off the blade line
Slits the tube into two halves: the alloy blade is set inside at the factory to score the wall along the draw, and the tube peels apart into two clean halves that lift away from the fiber bundle
Hinged lid on a steel pin: the box opens to lay the tube in — no threading a long tube end through anything — then closes and stays closed under hand pressure while you pull
A palm-size bench tool at 74 mm square: the flat faces sit steady in the hand or on the closure lid, and the recessed panels in the lid serve as thumb rests for the draw
Nothing to set or lose: blade depth is fixed at the factory, there are no loose parts, and the closed box keeps the blade covered in the kit
Supplied neutral and unbranded as standard; private labeling is made to your requirements — labels with your logo, part numbers and barcodes on the inner boxes and outer cartons, so the goods arrive ready for your warehouse

How the K-LS1 slits a tube into two halves

Where a loose tube has to come off a fiber bundle — at a cable end, at a closure, along a cutover — the wall must be opened lengthwise without the blade ever wandering into the fibers. The K-LS1 guides the cut mechanically: the tube passes through a hole bored for its own diameter range, and a hole that fits the tube keeps it centred on the blade for the whole draw.

Open the lid on its steel pin and lay the tube across the hole that matches it — 1.5–1.9, 2.0–2.4, 2.5–2.9 or 3.0–3.3 mm — then close the box and hold it shut. Inside, the alloy blade stands at a factory-set height against the tube wall. Draw the box along the tube in one steady pull: the blade scores the wall from end to end, and the tube parts into two halves that peel away from the gel and fibers, which stay lying in the lower half until you lift them out.

Because the tube is captive inside the box, the K-LS1 is at its best on bench and closure work at cable ends — fan the tubes out of the cable, run each one through its hole, and the fibers are ready for cleaning and splicing. For a mid-span window it closes over the tube the same way; work a short section at a time so the opened window stays controlled.

Feed the tube through the hole that matches it — a tube loose in an oversize hole wanders and the score runs shallow; a tube forced through a small hole is scored too deep. Wipe gel from the holes and the blade seat after a session so the next tube seats fully, and store the box closed: the blade stays covered and the holes stay clean.
