Channellock Inc 420 Tongue and Groove Pliers 9.5 in

Product Description

The CHANNELLOCK INC 420 is a 9.5-inch tongue and groove plier designed for gripping, turning, and holding pipe, fittings, and fasteners in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical service work. The jaw features laser heat-treated teeth that resist dulling and maintain a firm grip on round and flat stock. Five adjustment positions allow the jaw to open up to 1.5 inches, covering a wide range of pipe diameters and fitting sizes without swapping tools. Plastic-coated handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians reach for this style of plier as a daily-carry hand tool.

The 420 is suited for residential and light commercial service calls where a technician needs reliable grip on copper, galvanized, or PVC fittings, packing nuts, and slip-joint connections. The 9.5-inch overall length provides enough leverage for most under-sink and mechanical-room tasks without the bulk of a 12-inch tool. It is sold in a package quantity of five units per package, making it practical for stocking a service van or supplying a crew.

• Five jaw-position adjustments to fit a range of work piece sizes

Designed as a general-purpose tongue and groove plier for plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical service applications. No specific system or model compatibility is stated by the manufacturer for this hand tool.

Installation Notes

Tongue and groove pliers are a hand tool used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians. Always shut off the water supply or isolate the system before breaking apart threaded or slip-joint connections. Avoid using pliers on soft brass or chrome-plated fittings without a protective rag or fitting cover to prevent surface damage. Inspect the teeth and pivot pin before each use and replace the tool if the jaw exhibits excessive play or the teeth show significant wear.
