Ridgid 31005 Heavy Duty Straight Pipe Wrench 8 in

Product Description

The RIDGID 31005 is a heavy duty straight pipe wrench built for plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who need a reliable grip on pipe in tight or demanding conditions. The wrench measures 8 inches in overall length and handles pipe up to 1 inch in diameter. Its floating forged hook jaw self-centers on pipe surfaces to maintain a firm, positive grip, while the knurled nut adjustment allows fast sizing changes without tools. The ductile iron handle delivers the strength to handle high-torque applications without flex or failure.

The RIDGID 31005 is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing work where a compact, maneuverable wrench is needed. It is commonly used for tightening and loosening threaded pipe joints on water supply lines, gas lines, and drain assemblies. The 8-inch length gives the technician enough leverage for 1-inch pipe without the bulk of a larger wrench, making it a practical choice for confined spaces such as utility chases, under sinks, and mechanical rooms.

Key Features

• Floating forged hook jaw self-centers on pipe for a secure, consistent grip
• Knurled nut adjustment allows quick jaw sizing without additional tools
• Ductile iron handle provides high strength with resistance to impact and bending
• 8-inch overall length suits confined-space applications and 1-inch pipe work
• Straight jaw pattern for standard pipe wrench applications on threaded fittings

Compatibility

Designed for use on threaded pipe and fittings up to 1 inch in diameter, suitable for standard plumbing and pipefitting applications in residential and light commercial settings.

Installation Notes

Pipe wrenches are installed and serviced by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines. Always shut off the water or gas supply and relieve system pressure before working on any threaded pipe joint. Use a second wrench as a backup when tightening or loosening joints to prevent stress on adjacent fittings. Inspect jaw teeth regularly for wear and replace the wrench if the hook jaw no longer seats firmly on pipe.
