Gibraltar CBV045-1 Bench Pipe Combination Vise Swivel Base

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR CBV045-1 is a bench pipe combination vise built for trade and shop use where both flat stock and pipe work happen at the same station. It features a 5.5-inch jaw width and a 6-inch jaw opening, giving techs and pipefitters room to grip a wide range of workpieces. The throat depth measures 3.75 inches, providing clearance for irregularly shaped stock. The body is cast from ductile iron for impact resistance and long service life under repeated heavy use. A swivel base allows the vise to rotate for repositioning without moving the workpiece, and the bolt-down base attachment keeps the unit fixed to the bench during use.

This combination vise is suited for plumbing and pipefitting shops, HVAC fabrication benches, and general trade workbenches where both pipe and flat work are performed. The pipe jaw capacity runs from 0.125 inches (1/8 inch) to 3 inches, covering most common pipe sizes found in residential and light commercial work. The bolt-down swivel base design makes it appropriate for permanent bench installation in service shops, contractor yards, and trade school facilities.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified tradesperson using appropriate fasteners through the bolt-down base holes into a solid workbench surface. Ensure the bench surface and mounting substrate can support the vise weight and anticipated clamping loads before mounting. Confirm all mounting hardware is fully torqued before placing the vise into service. Do not exceed the rated pipe or jaw capacity during use.
