Ridgid Tools 32495 Aluminum Replacement Handle 18 in Offset Wrench

Product Description

The RIDGID TOOLS 32495 is a genuine OEM aluminum replacement handle designed to restore an 18-inch offset pipe wrench to factory condition. Fabricated from aluminum, the handle offers a reduced-weight alternative to traditional steel handles while maintaining the structural integrity required for high-torque pipe work. This part is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors performing maintenance or repair on existing RIDGID offset pipe wrenches rather than purchasing a complete tool replacement.

The 32495 handle is sized specifically for the RIDGID 18-inch offset pipe wrench, making it a direct-fit service component for that tool. The offset pipe wrench format is commonly used in tight-clearance piping scenarios where a standard straight wrench cannot reach a fastening point, and is found across residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing and pipefitting applications. Keeping a genuine replacement handle on hand reduces downtime when a handle is cracked, bent, or otherwise damaged in the field.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM replacement handle ensures proper fit and function for the RIDGID 18-inch offset pipe wrench
• Aluminum construction reduces overall tool weight compared to steel handles
• Direct-fit design eliminates the need to modify or adapt the component during installation
• Restores a damaged wrench to service without requiring full tool replacement

Compatibility

Designed as a direct OEM replacement handle for the RIDGID 18-inch offset pipe wrench.

Installation Notes

Handle replacement on pipe wrenches is typically performed by a plumber or pipefitter using basic hand tools. Ensure the wrench is fully de-tensioned and free of any load before disassembling. Follow the tool manufacturer's reassembly sequence to confirm all fasteners are properly seated before returning the wrench to service. Inspect the hook jaw and heel jaw assemblies for wear while the handle is removed.
