Pro-source Par - PWP-8 Straight Pipe Wrench 8 Inches

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE PAR - PWP-8 is a straight pipe wrench designed for gripping and turning threaded pipe, pipe fittings, and round stock in plumbing and mechanical piping installations. Built from cast iron, it measures 8 inches in overall length and handles pipe up to 1 inch in diameter. The cast iron construction provides the rigidity needed for high-torque applications common in residential and light commercial plumbing work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors rely on this style of wrench for installing and removing threaded iron and steel pipe in water, gas, and drain-waste-vent systems.

This wrench is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where threaded steel or iron pipe is being installed, repaired, or removed. Its compact 8-inch overall length makes it practical for working in tight spaces such as under sinks, inside utility closets, and in mechanical rooms where swing clearance is limited. The 1-inch maximum pipe capacity covers common schedule 40 iron pipe sizes used in residential water supply and gas distribution piping.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of threaded pipe with this wrench should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local amendments. Always shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before breaking threaded connections. Apply pipe compound or thread seal tape to threaded joints per local code requirements. Avoid using extension cheater bars on an 8-inch wrench, as this can exceed the tool's intended torque range and damage the jaw mechanism.
