Gibraltar CBV041 Bench Pipe Combination Vise 6 in Swivel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CBV041 is a heavy-duty bench pipe combination vise designed for trade professionals who need reliable workholding for both flat stock and pipe. Built from ductile iron, it delivers the rigidity required for repetitive plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical work. The jaw width measures 6 inches with a jaw opening capacity of 6.25 inches and a throat depth of 3.5 inches. The swivel base allows the vise to rotate and lock at multiple angles, keeping the work positioned correctly without repositioning the workpiece. Installation is bolt-down for a permanent, stable mount to a workbench.

The CBV041 is suited for plumbing shops, mechanical rooms, and fabrication benches where both pipe and flat material need to be secured. The pipe capacity handles pipe from 1.25 inches up to 2.5 inches, covering the most common residential and light commercial pipe sizes used in plumbing and pipefitting applications. Pipe jaws and flat jaws in a single unit reduce the need for multiple vises on the bench. It is typically installed by plumbers, pipefitters, and maintenance mechanics in shop or job-site settings.

Compatibility

Designed as a bolt-down bench vise for stationary workbench installations in plumbing, pipefitting, and general mechanical trade environments. Confirm bench surface thickness and bolt pattern before mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by securing the bolt-down base to a suitable workbench using appropriately sized fasteners through the base mounting holes. Ensure the bench surface and underlying support structure can handle the combined weight of the vise at 41 pounds plus the expected workload forces. Disconnect any powered equipment in the immediate work area before mounting. Follow shop safety protocols and local codes when positioning vises near electrical panels or gas lines.
