Rothenberger 70241 Chain Strap Wrench 12 in Max Pipe

Product Description

The ROTHENBERGER 70241 is a chain strap wrench designed for gripping and turning pipe in plumbing, mechanical, and piping applications. It accepts pipe up to 12 inches in outside diameter and features a 12-inch chain length that wraps securely around the workpiece. The 12-inch handle provides the leverage needed to break loose or tighten fittings without slipping or marring the pipe surface. This tool is suited for journeyman plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors who work with larger-diameter pipe on a routine basis.

The 70241 is well matched to residential and commercial plumbing work where non-metallic, coated, or polished pipe must be turned without damage. The chain strap design distributes gripping force evenly around the pipe circumference, making it useful on plastic, chrome, and other surface-sensitive materials. It is also a practical choice for drain, waste, and vent work where pipe diameters frequently run 3 inches and above.

Key Features

• Accepts pipe up to 12 inches maximum outside diameter
• 8-inch actual OD working capacity for direct engagement
• 12-inch chain length for secure wrap on large-diameter pipe
• 12-inch handle delivers mechanical leverage for stubborn fittings

Compatibility

Installation Notes

This tool is intended for use by licensed plumbers and pipefitters. Before working on any pressurized system, shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure. Ensure the chain is fully seated around the pipe before applying torque to avoid slippage. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for pipe joint assembly and disassembly procedures.
