Apex CW24 Chain Wrench 24 Inch Alloy Steel 6 Inch Pipe

Product Description

The APEX CW24 is a chain wrench designed for gripping and turning pipe, conduit, and cylindrical workpieces in demanding trade applications. The wrench features a 24.14-inch alloy steel chain and an alloy steel handle with a plated finish for corrosion resistance. The forged construction delivers the strength and durability required for heavy-duty plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical work. At 3.6 pounds and 24 inches in overall length, the CW24 provides substantial leverage without excessive bulk. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary users of this tool.

The CW24 is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, pipefitting, and industrial maintenance where a pipe wrench cannot get adequate purchase or clearance. The chain mechanism wraps around irregular, large-diameter, or delicate pipe surfaces to grip without crushing. Maximum pipe capacity is 6 inches, making this wrench useful for main lines, larger drain fittings, and heavy mechanical piping systems. It is also used in HVAC and refrigeration work where oversized or oddly shaped components require a flexible gripping tool.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use chain wrench suitable for standard plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical service work on pipe sizes up to 6 inches in diameter.

Installation Notes

Chain wrenches are typically used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working under IPC or applicable local plumbing codes. Before using on an active system, shut off water supply or gas flow and depressurize the line. Wrap the chain fully around the pipe before applying torque to ensure even load distribution and prevent slipping. Inspect the chain and hook engagement before each use to confirm no wear or deformation is present.
