Pro-source Par - PWA-36 Straight Pipe Wrench 36 in Aluminum

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PAR - PWA-36 is a straight pipe wrench designed for heavy-duty gripping and turning of pipe in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial service work. Built from aluminum, this wrench delivers a strong grip while keeping weight manageable for extended use. It measures 36 inches in overall length and handles pipe up to 5 inches in diameter. The aluminum construction reduces fatigue during overhead or prolonged work compared to traditional cast-iron models. This tool is a standard in the inventory of licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on larger-diameter runs in both commercial and residential mechanical systems.

The PAR - PWA-36 is suited for use on threaded steel, iron, and plastic pipe in plumbing rough-in, drain-waste-vent work, gas piping, and mechanical room installations. The 36-inch length provides the leverage needed when breaking loose corroded fittings or tightening large-diameter connections. It is appropriate for use in commercial construction, industrial maintenance, and heavy residential plumbing applications where smaller wrenches lack the reach or mechanical advantage required.

Key Features

• 36-inch overall length provides high mechanical advantage on large pipe connections
• 5-inch maximum pipe capacity handles large-diameter residential and commercial runs
• Aluminum construction reduces tool weight while maintaining grip strength
• Straight wrench design for standard jaw-and-heel pipe gripping
• Full-length handle supports two-handed operation on stubborn fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use on threaded pipe applications requiring a straight pipe wrench with up to 5-inch pipe capacity and a 36-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this wrench should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Always ensure the pipe or fitting is properly supported before applying torque. Inspect jaw teeth and the adjustment mechanism before each use to confirm secure engagement and prevent slippage. Do not use extension cheater bars on the handle, as this can exceed the structural limits of the tool.
