RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrenches grip and turn pipe on residential, commercial, and industrial jobs. The ductile iron body and I-beam handle stand up to daily use, and the size range covers everything from tight residential fittings to large-diameter industrial pipe. RIDGID has built this wrench line since 1923, and every current model still meets federal specification GGG-W65IE, Type II, Class A.
| Size | Pipe Diameter Range | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| 6″ – 10″ | Up to 1″ | Tight spaces, small-diameter residential pipe |
| 12″ | 1/2″ to 1-1/2″ (2″ max capacity) | Standard residential plumbing |
| 14″ – 18″ | 1″ to 2″ (2-1/2″ max capacity) | Light commercial plumbing |
| 24″ | Commercial-grade pipe | Commercial and light industrial work, a common size for MRO and facilities crews |
| 36″ – 48″ | Large diameter | Heavy industrial pipe |
| 60″ | 3″ to 8″ (8″ max capacity) | Extra-large diameter industrial applications |
The 24″ model is one of the most commonly stocked sizes on a service truck among RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrenches, large enough for commercial pipe but still manageable in
tighter mechanical rooms. Both Heavy Duty (cast iron) and Aluminum body options are available across the size range, and the Aluminum version runs close to 40% lighter for crews carrying multiple sizes at once.
RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrenches all use a ductile iron housing and I-beam handle, built for repeated heavy loads without cracking or flexing. The full-floating forged hook jaw adjusts quickly and self-cleans as it moves, so debris doesn’t build up in the threads between uses.
The hook jaw, heel jaw, and spring assembly are all replaceable individually. A worn jaw on a 24″ or 36″ wrench doesn’t mean replacing the whole tool, just the worn part. Serrated jaw teeth bite into the pipe surface for a secure hold, even on pipe with light scale or corrosion.
Match the wrench to the pipe diameter, not the job title. A plumber working residential service calls typically carries something in the 10″ to 18″ range, covering pipe up to about 2-1/2″ in diameter. Facilities and commercial crews often reach for the 24″ RIDGID pipe wrench as their go-to mid-size tool, big enough for commercial-grade pipe without the bulk of the 36″ and up models. Industrial and oilfield crews stock the larger sizes, 36″ through 60″, where a 60″ wrench handles pipe up to 8″ in diameter and leverage matters more than maneuverability.
Ten sizes: 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″, 14″, 18″, 24″, 36″, 48″, and 60″, in both Heavy Duty (cast iron) and Aluminum body options.
The Heavy Duty model has a ductile iron body built for maximum durability under repeated heavy loads. The Aluminum version weighs close to 40% less, which matters for crews carrying multiple sizes at once.
Commercial and light industrial pipe work. It’s a common mid-size choice for facilities and MRO crews, large enough for commercial-grade pipe but still practical to carry and maneuver in mechanical rooms.
Yes. The hook jaw, heel jaw, and spring assembly can be replaced individually, so normal wear doesn’t require replacing the entire wrench.
Yes. RIDGID Heavy-Duty Straight Pipe Wrenches comply with federal specification GGG-W65IE, Type II, Class A, and RIDGID pipe wrenches generally are manufactured to ASME B107.6 hand-tool standards.
