Pipe Wrenches

Pipe wrenches are used to turn threaded pipes and pipe fittings in assembling and disassembling applications. From hex wrenches for tightening / loosening bolts to the adjustable monkey wrenches for complex assembling, Raptor Supplies has a wrench for every job. We offer a wide variety of straight pipe, end pipe, offset and Swedish pipe wrenches from leading manufacturers like Westward, RIDGID, Proto, Wright Tool and Ampco. These wrenches have rugged steel / aluminium jaws to provide a firm grip on the pipes or fittings and feature an I-beam, plier-type handle.

Working Mechanism

  • To use a pipe wrench, first determine the appropriate size of wrench needed for the job.
  • Position the pipe or fitting so that it is accessible and can be easily gripped with the wrench.
  • Open the jaws of the pipe wrench by turning the adjustment nut situated at the end of the handle.
  • Place the jaws of the wrench around the pipe or fitting, ensuring they are properly aligned with the surface of the pipe or fitting to avoid slipping.
  • Close the jaws of the wrench around the pipe or fitting by turning the adjustment nut in the opposite direction until the jaws are tight around the surface.
  • Apply enough force to the wrench handle to turn the pipe or fitting. For best results, position the wrench in such a way that the force is applied in the direction of the jaws' teeth.
  • Once finished, release the jaws by turning the adjustment nut in the opposite direction.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a knurled adjustment nut?

A knurled adjustment nut has a textured or rough surface, typically in the form of small, raised lines or diamond-shaped patterns. This textured surface provides a better grip, making it easier to adjust or tighten the nut by hand, eliminating the need for specialised tools.

What are tether-capable wrenches?

Tether-capable means that the wrench can be secured to a tether (cord or cable) to prevent the device from falling or missing in busy facilities.

How to maintain these pipe wrenches?

  • After each use, wipe down the wrench with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris that may have accumulated during the operation.
  • Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the moving parts, including the jaw and adjusting nut to keep the wrench working smoothly.
  • Store these wrenches in a dry place, away from sources of moisture or heat. This will prevent the tool from getting rusted or corroded.
  • Inspect the pipe wrench regularly for signs of wear or damage, like chipped or cracked jaws or bent handles. Replace the wrench or repair it in the case of any damage found.
