Pro-source Par - PWP-14 Straight Pipe Wrench 14 in Cast Iron

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PAR - PWP-14 is a straight pipe wrench built for plumbing and pipefitting work. Constructed from cast iron, it delivers the rigidity needed to grip and turn threaded pipe without flex or slip. The wrench measures 14 inches overall length and handles pipe up to 2 inches in diameter. It follows the traditional straight pipe wrench design, with a fixed lower jaw and an adjustable upper jaw that bites harder as torque is applied. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for this tool when making up or breaking apart threaded iron or steel pipe connections in residential and commercial piping systems.

This wrench is suited for working on black iron gas lines, galvanized water supply lines, and other threaded pipe assemblies where a firm, reliable grip is essential. The 14-inch length provides enough leverage for most standard residential and light commercial pipe sizes up to 2 inches. It is a common tool on rough-in plumbing jobs, boiler room installations, and mechanical rooms where threaded piping remains prevalent. The cast iron construction performs well in shop and job-site environments where durability under repeated use is required.

Key Features

• Cast iron construction provides rigidity and durability under high torque loads
• 14-inch overall length delivers leverage suitable for pipe sizes up to 2 inches
• Maximum pipe capacity of 2 inches covers common residential and commercial pipe diameters
• Straight pipe wrench geometry allows direct access on exposed, in-line pipe runs
• Adjustable jaw design increases grip force as torque is applied

Compatibility

Designed for use on threaded iron and steel pipe up to 2 inches in diameter, consistent with standard straight pipe wrench applications in plumbing and pipefitting.

Installation Notes

Pipe wrenches are typically used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Always shut off water supply or gas service and depressurize the line before breaking a threaded connection. Use two wrenches when making up or breaking apart threaded joints to prevent strain on adjacent fittings or pipe. Inspect jaw teeth before use and replace the wrench if teeth are worn, as reduced grip increases the risk of slippage and injury.
