Ips Corporation 510288 Tongue Groove Pliers 12 Inch

Product Description

The IPS CORPORATION 510288 is a 12-inch tongue and groove plier designed for professional plumbing and trade work. Sometimes referred to by the Channellock style designation 440G, this tool features dipped handles that provide a secure, comfortable grip during high-torque applications. At 12 inches in length, it delivers the leverage needed for tightening or loosening larger fittings, pipe connections, and faucet hardware. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and general tradespeople reach for this style of plier when working on both residential and light commercial installations.

This plier is suited for plumbing rough-in and finish work, including tightening supply line nuts, adjusting slip-joint connections, and gripping hex or round pipe fittings. The 12-inch length makes it appropriate for applications where a standard 10-inch plier lacks sufficient jaw capacity or leverage. It is a common addition to a journeyman plumber's bag and is also used by HVAC technicians and general maintenance professionals who regularly work on piping systems.

Key Features

• 12-inch overall length for extended reach and leverage on larger fittings
• Tongue and groove adjustable jaw design accommodates a range of fitting sizes
• Dipped handles for improved grip and hand protection during use
• Channellock 440G style construction built for trade-duty applications
• Plumbing-category tool suitable for pipe, fitting, and hardware work

Installation Notes

Use by a qualified plumber or licensed tradesperson is standard for professional plumbing applications. Protect finished surfaces such as chrome or polished fittings with a cloth or tape wrap before applying jaw pressure to avoid marring. Inspect the jaw teeth and adjustment channel before each use and replace if worn or damaged. Always shut off the water supply before servicing any pressurized plumbing connections.
