Apex Tool Group Llc CPW16S 16 Inch Steel Pipe Wrench

Product Description

The APEX TOOL GROUP LLC CPW16S is a 16-inch self-adjusting steel pipe wrench built for plumbing and MRO applications. The spring-loaded jaw allows one-handed operation, letting technicians grip and turn pipe without resetting the jaw between each movement. The lower jaw is extended for improved access in tight spaces, and the jaw width is designed for a quick, secure bite on pipe. The handle geometry is optimized for control under torque. At 6.52 pounds, this is a full-size wrench intended for production work, service calls, and bench use by professional plumbers and maintenance trades.

The CPW16S is suited for residential and commercial plumbing service, industrial MRO, and mechanical maintenance environments. The self-adjusting mechanism reduces setup time when working on varied pipe diameters in sequence. The locking jaw feature holds the wrench at a set position, which is useful when working overhead or in confined spaces where both hands may not be free. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this tool.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and qualified maintenance technicians. Before working on any pressurized pipe system, shut off the water supply or system pressure and verify the line is depressurized. Inspect the wrench jaw teeth and spring mechanism before each use and do not use the tool if the jaw does not engage or release cleanly. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC when performing pipe work requiring inspection or permit.
