Ridge Tool Co 31000 6 Inch Pipe Wrench Cast Iron

Product Description

The RIDGE TOOL CO 31000 is a 6-inch straight pipe wrench built for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who need a reliable hand tool for gripping and turning threaded pipe. The cast iron housing provides rigid, durable support during repeated use. The I-beam handle delivers the leverage needed for tight connections while keeping overall weight manageable at 3 pounds. Jaw teeth are heat-treated high alloy steel, designed to bite and hold under load without slipping. The full floating hook jaw with spring suspension maintains consistent contact on the pipe surface throughout the turn.

This wrench is sized for light-duty pipe work where a compact tool is needed in confined spaces or finish-out situations. With a 3/4-inch pipe capacity, it is well suited for residential plumbing rough-in and service work, as well as mechanical rooms where smaller-diameter pipe connections are common. The replaceable jaw design extends the service life of the tool, making it a practical addition to a working plumber's bag.
