Ridgid 31075 End Pipe Wrench 18 Inch Cast Iron Handle

Product Description

The RIDGID 31075 is an end pipe wrench built for gripping pipe ends, close-to-wall fittings, and recessed nipples where a standard wrench cannot reach. It features a floating forged hook jaw that maintains grip under load and a cast iron handle rated for the torque demands of plumbing and pipefitting work. The overall length is 18 inches, and the wrench is sized for pipe up to 2.5 inches in diameter. The knurled nut adjustment allows quick jaw sizing without tools. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors rely on this tool for drain, waste, and vent work as well as industrial pipe runs where end access is the only option.

The 31075 is used in residential and commercial plumbing installations wherever standard pipe wrenches cannot achieve adequate bite due to space constraints at pipe ends or wall penetrations. It suits above-ground steel, iron, and galvanized pipe. The end-jaw design makes it particularly effective when working pipes flush with a wall, floor flange, or fitting face. It is a common tool in rough-in plumbing, remodel work, and mechanical room pipe maintenance.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded pipe systems. Always ensure the jaw is properly seated on the pipe before applying torque to avoid slipping and pipe damage. Inspect the jaw teeth and adjustment nut for wear before use on critical joints. Follow applicable IPC and IFGC guidelines for joint assembly torque and thread engagement requirements.
