Ridgid R31100 Straight Pipe Wrench 18 Inch Aluminum

Product Description

The RIDGID R31100 is a straight pipe wrench designed for gripping and turning pipe, fittings, and other cylindrical work in plumbing and pipefitting applications. Built with an aluminum body, it delivers the torque capacity of a full-size wrench at a reduced carry weight of 3.72 pounds. The 18-inch overall length provides the leverage needed for larger-diameter work, and the 2.5-inch jaw capacity covers a wide range of pipe sizes. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors reach for this tool when working overhead or in situations where arm fatigue is a factor over a long shift.

This wrench suits residential and commercial plumbing work, gas piping, and general mechanical service. The straight-pattern head aligns with the pipe axis, making it the standard choice for most above-grade and in-wall rough-in tasks. Its 18-inch length and 2.5-inch capacity place it in the mid-to-large range of pipe wrenches, appropriate for 1-inch through 2-inch nominal pipe sizes commonly found in supply, drain, and gas systems.

Key Features

• Aluminum body construction reduces tool weight compared to cast-iron equivalents
• 2.5-inch jaw capacity handles a broad range of residential and light commercial pipe sizes
• 18-inch overall length delivers mechanical advantage for stubborn fittings
• Straight-pattern head suits standard inline pipe gripping tasks
• Full-size wrench geometry with lower carry weight for extended use overhead or in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use on round pipe and fittings up to 2.5 inches in diameter; suitable for general plumbing, pipefitting, and mechanical service work where a straight pipe wrench is required.

Installation Notes

Pipe wrenches are installed and serviced by licensed plumbers and pipefitters. Always shut off water supply or isolate the gas line and relieve system pressure before breaking any joint. Inspect the heel jaw and hook jaw teeth before use and replace worn jaws to maintain grip. Follow applicable IPC or IFGC requirements for the piping system being worked on.
