Ridgid 31125 Offset Pipe Wrench 18 Inch Aluminum Handle

Product Description

The RIDGID 31125 is an 18 Series offset pipe wrench designed for gripping and turning threaded pipe in plumbing, mechanical, and pipefitting applications. The offset jaw geometry allows technicians to work in tight clearances where a straight wrench cannot get adequate bite angle. Built with a hook jaw and standard adjustment mechanism, it handles pipe up to 2.5 inches in diameter. The aluminum handle keeps overall weight low without sacrificing rigidity, making it practical for overhead work and extended use on the job. Overall length is 18 inches, giving the technician sufficient leverage for stubborn fittings.

This wrench is suited for residential and commercial plumbing rough-in, mechanical room piping, and gas line work where offset access is required. The 18-inch length puts it in the mid-range category, appropriate for 1-inch to 2.5-inch pipe common in supply lines, drain stacks, and gas distribution piping. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with threaded steel or iron pipe will find the offset design particularly useful when working near walls, floors, or structural obstructions.

Installation Notes

Pipe wrenches are installed and used by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians working with threaded pipe and fittings. Always shut off the water supply or gas service before breaking threaded connections. Use two wrenches in opposition when making or breaking joints to avoid stressing connected piping. Inspect the jaw and adjustment mechanism before use and replace worn parts to prevent jaw slip under load.
