Ridgid 31025 Heavy Duty Straight Pipe Wrench 18 Inch

Product Description

The RIDGID 31025 is a heavy-duty straight pipe wrench designed for gripping and turning threaded pipe in plumbing, mechanical, and pipefitting applications. Built with a ductile iron handle and a floating forged hook jaw, it delivers the grip strength and durability required for daily professional use. The wrench handles pipe up to 2.5 inches in diameter and has an overall length of 18 inches, providing the leverage needed for stubborn fittings. A knurled nut adjustment allows fast, reliable jaw setting without slipping during use. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary users of this tool on both residential and commercial job sites.

The 31025 is suited for installation and service work involving threaded iron, steel, and similar pipe materials. The 18-inch length gives enough torque advantage for tight connections in confined mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, or utility areas. The floating jaw design allows the wrench to self-align to the pipe surface, maintaining a secure bite even as load increases. This makes it appropriate for both makeup and breakout of threaded joints during rough-in and service calls.

Key Features

• Floating forged hook jaw self-aligns to pipe for a secure, non-slip grip
• Ductile iron handle resists impact and bending under high torque loads
• Knurled nut adjustment allows quick jaw setting and reliable lock during use
• 2.5-inch maximum pipe capacity handles most residential and light commercial pipe sizes
• 18-inch overall length provides leverage for tight threaded connections
• Red finish for high visibility on the job site

Compatibility

Designed for use on threaded pipe applications up to 2.5 inches in diameter, consistent with standard straight pipe wrench fitment in plumbing and pipefitting work.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber or journeyman pipefitter typically uses this wrench during pipe makeup and disassembly. Before servicing any piping system, shut off the water supply or gas service and depressurize the line. Use the wrench only on threaded pipe and fittings — avoid using it on soft materials such as copper or plastic, which can be damaged by jaw teeth. Inspect the jaw teeth and adjustment nut before each use to confirm they are clean and functioning properly.
