Gibraltar G56413 Bench Pipe Combination Vise 6.5 in

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G56413 is a heavy-duty bench pipe combination vise designed for secure workholding during pipe fitting, threading, and general fabrication tasks. Built from ductile iron for strength and impact resistance, it features a 6.5-inch jaw width and a 5.5-inch jaw opening capacity, making it suitable for a wide range of workpiece sizes. A swivel base allows the vise to rotate for improved positioning, while the bolt-down base attachment keeps it firmly anchored to the workbench. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary users of this type of bench vise in shop and field environments.

This vise is suited for plumbing shops, mechanical contractor workbenches, and trade training facilities where both flat stock and pipe need to be held securely. The pipe capacity ranges from 0.125 inches to 2.5 inches, covering common pipe sizes used in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC work. The swivel base is particularly useful in high-volume shops where operators need to reposition work quickly without relocating the vise itself.

Key Features

• 6.5-inch jaw width accommodates a broad range of flat and pipe workpieces
• 5.5-inch jaw opening capacity for larger stock and fittings
• 3.6875-inch throat depth provides clearance for bulkier workpieces
• Pipe capacity from 0.125 inches to 2.5 inches handles common trade pipe sizes
• Swivel base allows repositioning without unbolting the vise from the bench
• Ductile iron construction resists cracking under heavy clamping loads

Compatibility

Designed as a bolt-down bench vise for use on standard shop workbenches in plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires bolting the base securely to a heavy-duty workbench capable of supporting the vise weight and anticipated clamping forces. A licensed plumber or pipefitter should follow applicable shop safety standards when mounting and operating bench vises. Always ensure the bench mounting surface and fasteners are rated for the load before use. Inspect jaw inserts and swivel locking mechanisms periodically to confirm secure operation.
