Ridge Tool Co 31030 Iron Pipe Wrench 24 Inches

Product Description

The RIDGE TOOL CO 31030 is a 24-inch iron pipe wrench built for heavy-duty plumbing and pipefitting work. The cast iron housing provides a rigid, straight body that withstands high-torque applications without flexing. The I-beam handle delivers the grip strength needed for turning large-diameter pipe. Jaw teeth are made from heat-treated high-alloy steel, giving them the hardness to bite and hold on ferrous and non-ferrous pipe without slipping. Designed for regular use in demanding field and shop environments, this wrench is a standard tool for licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors.

This wrench handles pipe up to 3 inches in diameter, making it suitable for main line work, commercial plumbing installations, and industrial piping systems. The 24-inch length provides the leverage needed to torque large fittings and stubborn connections. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit service work where consistent, reliable grip on iron, steel, or threaded pipe is required.

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded iron or steel pipe systems. Ensure the pipe system is depressurized and drained before breaking or making threaded connections. Inspect jaw teeth and the floating hook jaw mechanism before each use and replace worn jaws to maintain safe gripping performance. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines when working on gas or water piping systems.
