Ridgid 31020 Heavy Duty Straight Pipe Wrench 14 Inch

Product Description

The RIDGID 31020 is a heavy duty straight pipe wrench built for professional plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working with threaded pipe installations and repairs. It handles pipe up to 2 inches in diameter and measures 14 inches in overall length, giving the technician the leverage needed for secure grip and torque on standard pipe work. The wrench features a floating forged hook jaw that maintains consistent bite on pipe surfaces, and a knurled nut adjustment that allows fast, positive jaw setting without slipping. The ductile iron handle provides impact resistance and long service life under heavy jobsite use.

This wrench is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and general mechanical work where threaded steel or iron pipe is installed, removed, or tightened. The 14-inch length makes it a practical choice for tight quarters and overhead work where a longer wrench would be awkward. It is a standard tool in the kit of licensed plumbers and pipefitters handling pipe sizes up to 2 inches.

Key Features

• Handles pipe up to 2 inches in diameter
• 14-inch overall length for balanced leverage in typical pipe work
• Floating forged hook jaw maintains grip and reduces jaw wear
• Knurled nut adjustment allows quick jaw positioning
• Ductile iron handle resists impact and bending under load

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical users of this tool in commercial and residential pipe work. Always ensure the jaw is fully seated on the pipe before applying torque to prevent slipping or damage to the pipe surface. Inspect the jaw teeth and adjustment nut before each use and replace worn components as needed. Follow applicable plumbing and mechanical codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements, when working on gas or water piping systems.
