Ridgid R31010 Straight Pipe Wrench 1.5 Inch Cast Iron

Product Description

The RIDGID R31010 is a heavy-duty straight pipe wrench built for trade professionals who need reliable grip and long service life on pipe installation and service work. The cast-iron housing and I-beam handle provide rigid structural support under high-torque use. A full floating forged hook jaw maintains consistent pipe contact, and the self-cleaning threads keep the adjustment mechanism free of debris. Both the hook jaw and heel jaw are replaceable, extending the service life of the tool. Rated for pipe up to 1.5 inches in capacity, this wrench weighs 1.74 pounds and complies with federal specification GGG-W65IE, Type II, Class A.

This pipe wrench is designed for use by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors on residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and general pipe assembly work. The straight jaw configuration suits standard inline pipe gripping tasks where a straight-pattern wrench is preferred over an offset or end pipe wrench. It is sold individually and fits a wide range of piping applications where a compact, 1.5 inch capacity wrench is the appropriate tool size.

Installation Notes

Installation and pipe service work involving pipe wrenches should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where relevant. Shut off water supply or gas supply and depressurize the line before breaking any fitting or joint. Inspect jaw teeth and the adjustment mechanism before use, and replace worn jaws to prevent pipe slippage under load.
