Ridgid R31020 Heavy-duty Straight Pipe Wrench 14 Inch

Product Description

The RIDGID R31020 is a heavy-duty straight pipe wrench built for professional plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical work. Constructed with a cast-iron housing and I-beam handle, it delivers the rigidity needed for high-torque applications on threaded pipe and fittings. The full floating forged hook jaw maintains consistent gripping pressure throughout the turn. Self-cleaning threads keep the adjustment mechanism clear of debris, reducing binding on the job. The hook and heel jaws are replaceable, extending the service life of the tool. Overall length is 14 inches with a maximum pipe capacity of 2 inches.

This wrench is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, gas piping, and general mechanical applications where a reliable, full-size straight pipe wrench is required. It is the go-to tool for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on iron, steel, or galvanized pipe installations, repairs, and tie-ins. The 14-inch OAL provides adequate leverage for 2-inch pipe without excessive bulk at the work site.
