Ridgid R31025 Heavy-duty Straight Pipe Wrench

Product Description

The RIDGID R31025 is a heavy-duty straight pipe wrench built for professional pipe work in plumbing, mechanical, and industrial service applications. The wrench features a cast-iron housing and an I-beam handle designed to deliver maximum torque while resisting flex under load. A full floating forged hook jaw keeps consistent contact with pipe as load is applied, and self-cleaning threads help prevent debris buildup that can compromise grip and jaw movement. The hook and heel jaws are replaceable, extending the service life of the tool. Maximum pipe capacity is 2 9/16 inches, and the wrench weighs 5.83 pounds.

The R31025 is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical service work where a reliable straight pipe wrench is required. The heavy-duty construction meets federal specifications GGG-W65IE, Type II, Class A, making it appropriate for demanding jobsite conditions. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors will find this wrench a standard fit for threading, tightening, and breaking loose threaded pipe connections across a wide range of pipe sizes up to its rated capacity.

Installation Notes

Installation and service work should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the IFGC or IPC where relevant. Always shut off water supply or gas service before working on pressurized systems. Inspect jaw condition and ensure jaws are fully seated on pipe before applying torque. Do not use extension bars or cheater pipes on the handle, as this can exceed the design load of the tool and create a safety hazard.
