Abstract:
A splitter system and methods are shown. Examples of splitter systems provide limited possibility of damage to adjacent utilities in the ground. Further, examples of splitter systems relax a shape memory of split pipe, which in turn reduces friction in a splitting operation. Configurations are further shown that provide lubrication to splitting operations in a number of locations along a splitter system. Configurations are also shown that provide electrical isolation to cutting blades.

Claim (Index 1):
A splitter system, comprising:\n a splitter body configured to be used with a pipe, the pipe including a wall thickness; a plurality of blades attached at different angular locations around a perimeter of the splitter body; wherein each of the plurality of blades has a cutting depth that is less than the wall thickness of the pipe to be split; and a shaping mandrel in front of the splitter body to form a consistent pipe shape prior to cutting the portion of the wall thickness.
