Ridgid R31005 Pipe Wrench 1 Inch Capacity 8 Inch Oal

Product Description

The RIDGID R31005 is a heavy-duty straight pipe wrench built for professional plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on pipe assembly, repair, and maintenance. Featuring a cast-iron housing and I-beam handle, this wrench delivers the rigidity and leverage needed for demanding pipe work. The full floating forged hook jaw adjusts to grip pipe securely, while self-cleaning threads keep the jaw mechanism clear of debris during use. With a 1-inch pipe capacity and an 8-inch overall length, the R31005 is sized for close-quarters work where control and bite matter most.

This pipe wrench is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving steel, iron, and similar threaded pipe. It handles typical service and installation scenarios encountered by licensed plumbers and pipefitters. The 8-inch OAL makes it practical in confined spaces such as mechanical closets, under sinks, and in-wall rough-in situations where a longer wrench would be unmanageable.

Key Features

• Cast-iron housing and I-beam handle provide structural rigidity under heavy torque loads

Installation Notes

This tool is installed and operated by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on threaded piping systems. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before breaking any threaded connection. Use appropriate jaw-protection material when working on finished or chrome-plated pipe to prevent surface damage. Inspect jaw teeth and heel jaw condition before each use, and replace worn jaw components to maintain safe gripping performance.
