Wilton 28811DB Bench Pipe Combination Vise 6 in Swivel

Product Description

The WILTON 28811DB is a heavy-duty bench pipe combination vise designed for professional pipe fitting, fabrication, and general metalworking at a fixed workstation. It delivers a 6 inch jaw opening and a 3-5/8 inch throat depth, with pipe capacity ranging from 1/4 inch to 3 inches. Built from ductile iron and steel, the 28811DB is engineered for high-cycle use in demanding shop and field-service environments. A needle roller thrust bearing and precision machined slide bar provide smooth, consistent jaw travel under load. The enclosed spindle design protects the lead screw from debris and extends service life. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers and users of this tool.

The 28811DB suits residential and commercial pipe work where a stationary, bolt-down vise is required. Its 360-degree swivel base lets the technician reposition the workpiece without unbolting the vise from the bench, which speeds up pipe threading, cutting, and reaming operations. The integrated large anvil work surface adds versatility for light forming and striking tasks. This vise is a practical bench fixture in plumbing shops, HVAC service departments, mechanical contractors shops, and trade school labs where heavy pipe stock is handled regularly.

Installation Notes

Installation requires bolting the swivel base to a solid workbench using the two lock-down bolt locations provided. Use fasteners and a bench surface rated to support the vise weight and anticipated working loads. Ensure the bench is secured to the floor or wall in accordance with applicable shop safety requirements before applying heavy torque through the vise. No electrical shutoff is required, but clear the immediate work area of flammable materials when the vise will be used in conjunction with pipe threading compounds or cutting oils.
