Gibraltar G56481 Bench Pipe Combination Vise 5 Inch Jaw

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR G56481 is a bench pipe combination vise designed for heavy-duty pipe work and general fabrication tasks in trade and shop environments. Built from ductile iron, this vise handles pipe from 1/8 inch up to 3-1/2 inches in diameter while also functioning as a standard bench vise with a 5-inch jaw width and 5-inch jaw opening. The 3-inch throat depth provides clearance for a range of workpiece profiles. Weighing 63 pounds, it is a substantial bench-mount tool intended for permanent or semi-permanent installation. The swivel base allows repositioning without unbolting, and the built-in anvil adds versatility for light striking work.

This vise is suited for plumbing shops, mechanical rooms, and trade service bays where both pipe and flat-stock work are performed regularly. The bolt-down swivel base makes it appropriate for permanent workbench mounting in commercial or residential shop settings. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and general tradespeople will find this vise applicable for threading, cutting, and holding pipe during assembly operations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by bolting the swivel base directly to a sturdy workbench capable of supporting the vise weight of 63 pounds plus the additional load of clamping forces during use. Use appropriately sized fasteners rated for the bench material and ensure the mounting surface is solid and level. Confirm all fasteners are fully tightened before applying load to the vise jaws. No special trade license is required for installation, but follow any applicable shop safety codes for tool mounting.
