Pro-source Par - PWA-24 Straight Pipe Wrench 24 in Aluminum

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PAR - PWA-24 is a straight pipe wrench built for trade professionals who need reliable grip and leverage on threaded pipe and fittings. Constructed from aluminum, this wrench offers a lighter carry weight compared to traditional cast-iron models without sacrificing jaw strength for standard plumbing and mechanical work. At 24 inches overall length, it delivers the extended leverage needed for larger pipe runs, and it handles pipe up to 3 inches in diameter. At 5.28 pounds, it is easy to maneuver in tight mechanical rooms, crawlspaces, and utility areas. This tool is a standard addition to any journeyman or master plumber's kit for rough-in and service work.

The PAR - PWA-24 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical work. It is commonly used when installing or removing threaded steel, iron, or PVC-threaded pipe and fittings in supply lines, gas piping rough-in, and HVAC refrigerant and condensate piping connections. The 24-inch length makes it appropriate for larger-diameter runs where shorter wrenches lack the torque needed to break fittings free or seat new connections securely.

Key Features

• Aluminum construction reduces tool weight while maintaining jaw integrity for standard pipe work
• 24-inch overall length provides extended leverage for larger pipe diameters and stubborn fittings
• Maximum pipe capacity of 3 inches covers the majority of residential and light commercial piping applications
• Straight pipe wrench design with an adjustable jaw for variable pipe sizes up to the rated capacity
• Lightweight at 5.28 pounds, reducing fatigue during extended use or multiple-story work

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose straight pipe wrench suitable for threaded pipe and fitting work across residential and light commercial plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or pipefitter should select the correct wrench size based on pipe diameter before beginning work. Always shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before loosening or tightening threaded connections. Use a second wrench as a backup when working on live assemblies to prevent unintended rotation of adjacent fittings. Follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC and IFGC for thread engagement and joint compound requirements.
