Gibraltar G56414 Bench Pipe Combination Vise 6 in Swivel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G56414 is a heavy-duty bench pipe combination vise designed for pipe fitting, plumbing rough-in, and general fabrication work. It features a 6-inch jaw width and 6-inch jaw opening, making it suited for gripping flat stock and round pipe in the same tool. The throat depth measures 4-3/16 inches, providing clearance for most standard workpiece profiles. Constructed from ductile iron throughout, the G56414 handles the mechanical stress of threading, bending, and cutting operations. The swivel base rotates to position work at the optimal angle, while the bolt-down attachment keeps the vise fixed to the bench during heavy-duty use. Plumbers, pipefitters, and general trade mechanics are the primary installers and users of this tool.

This vise is suited for both residential and light commercial trade applications where a combined flat-jaw and pipe-jaw tool is needed at a single bench station. It accommodates pipe from 1/8 inch up to 3 inches in diameter, covering the full range of standard iron, steel, and copper pipe sizes used in plumbing and HVAC piping work. The swivel base is particularly useful in shop or truck-body setups where work orientation changes frequently. The bolt-down base provides a secure, permanent or semi-permanent mount on a steel or hardwood workbench.

Compatibility

Designed as a bolt-down bench vise for use with standard steel or hardwood workbenches in plumbing, pipefitting, and fabrication shop environments. No OEM system-specific compatibility data was provided for this product.

Installation Notes

Installation requires bolting the base to a solid workbench surface using appropriate fasteners through the base mounting holes. Power tools are not required for mounting, but a drill and appropriately sized hardware for the bench material are typically needed. Ensure the bench surface can support the vise weight of 66 pounds plus the additional load of clamped workpieces. No utility shutoffs are required for bench vise installation.
