Bessey BV-MPV5 Bench Pipe Combination Vise 5 Inch

Product Description

The BESSEY BV-MPV5 is a heavy-duty bench pipe combination vise designed for gripping, holding, and working flat stock and round pipe on the workbench. Built from ductile iron, it handles pipe capacity from 1/4 inch up to 2 inches and opens to a full 5 inches for flat work. The jaw head rotates a full 360 degrees, allowing the operator to reposition material quickly without removing it from the vise. A double lockdown swivel base secures the unit to the bench from two points, keeping it stable under load. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians rely on this type of vise for threading, cutting, and fitting operations at the bench.

The BV-MPV5 is suited for residential and light commercial trade shops where a single vise needs to handle both pipe and flat-stock work. The rotating jaw head with locking handle lets one technician reposition work without a second set of hands. The included serrated jaw faces, pipe jaws, and steel V jaw faces cover the range of materials a plumber or pipefitter encounters in daily bench work. The swivel base adds flexibility in smaller shop layouts where bench space is at a premium.

Installation Notes

Mount the BV-MPV5 to a solid workbench using the two double lockdown bolts through the swivel base — ensure the bench surface and fasteners are rated for the vise weight of 31.32 pounds plus anticipated workload. Position the vise near the bench edge to allow full jaw opening without obstruction. Secure all lockdown bolts fully before applying load to prevent shifting during pipe threading or cutting operations.
