Pipe Wrenches

A pipe wrench is a plumbing wrench that grips round pipe and fittings with its toothed jaws and whose jaw opening is adjusted to the pipe diameter. It is used in plumbing, heating and compressed air lines to tighten and loosen threaded steel pipes and fittings such as couplings, nipples and elbows. In this category, İzeltaş double-handle clamp-type pipe wrenches are sold in 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch and 2 inch sizes, per piece; the inch value is the wrench's nominal size and determines the pipe size it can grip. Choose the wrench according to the outer diameter of the pipe you will turn, the distance of the pipe from the wall or neighboring pipe and the arm length needed: as the size increases, the handle gets longer and the torque that can be applied rises, but working in tight installation spaces becomes harder. On the clamp type, the jaw opening is set to the pipe diameter with the adjusting nut and the pipe is gripped by squeezing the two handles together; verify the largest pipe diameter that can be gripped from the manufacturer's data. Because its toothed jaws scratch the surface, a pipe wrench does not replace an adjustable wrench on chrome-plated fittings and hex nuts.
