Pipe Wrenches

Pipe wrenches, which are one of the most sought-after hand tools especially in plumbing works, are one of the heavy-duty plumbing wrenches. Pipe wrenches have different types such as brand, jaw width and raw material. Pipe wrenches are heavy-duty hand tools. The way it works is the same as wrenches, more commonly known as wrenches or wrenches. However, due to the width and diameter of the jaw, they are used for larger jobs than the froglet and wrench. Pipe wrenches located in the parts of the construction market shelves where the tools used in the installation works may be classified according to their brands or diameters.

How Does a Pipe Wrench Work?
The pipe wrench basically acts as a tong. The mouth part, which is brought to the area to be compressed, is fixed by narrowing the mouth width from the adjustment section. The pipe wrench grips the pipe from both the top and bottom, making it non-slip on the surface. Another reason why pipe wrenches have a non-slip grip is that there are teeth in the mouth of the wrench. This area, which we can call the serration, is not a part that can easily melt or deform.

After placing it in the area that needs to be tightened and performing the compression process, the action to be taken is to apply force to the key in the direction of compression. Pipe wrenches can be used for connecting pipes to each other as well as for dismantling. The only thing that needs to be done for this is to turn the key in the loosening direction after the key jaw is tightened.

The general principle of operation of pipe wrenches is the same. While one of the two jaws remains fixed, the other moves depending on the agar arm or ring to adjust the diameter. Pipe wrenches with basic working principle have little different features. This difference is usually related to the way the jaw diameter is adjusted. For example, some pipe wrenches are adjusted via a ring-shaped ring on their lower handles, while others are placed inside the handle and adjusted by means of a spindle. Depending on this adjustment situation, the jaw that remains fixed or moves between the two jaws may also change. While the upper jaw is fixed in some pipe wrenches, the lower jaw is fixed in some wrenches. Which of these two different types of pipe wrenches should be used is entirely up to the user's choice.

Pipe Wrench Models
Pipe wrenches are firstly separated from each other according to their movable jaws, as we mentioned before. In the working principle, one of the two jaws remains fixed, while the other causes the jaw to narrow or expand depending on the adjustment ring or shaft. This variation of the jaw diameter allows the pipe wrench to be used on pipes of different diameters.

Pipe wrench models can also be classified by size. Large pipe wrenches are used to tighten and unscrew larger pipes, while smaller models are used for smaller diameter pipes.

Pipe wrenches also offer the user small usage options. Some pipe wrenches are adjusted from ring-shaped rings, while others are adjusted by a spindle mechanism placed in any of their handles. In both uses, it basically adjusts the wrench according to the pipe diameter. According to the masters who use it, there are pros and cons from both key models. These are comments made entirely in line with the preferences of the users.

Pipe Wrench Usage Areas
Pipe wrenches are known as one of the heavy hand tools. They are classified in this group because they are used in the compression of iron and steel pipes. Although pipe wrenches are most commonly used in plumbing work, they also have a few different uses.

Pipe wrenches are one of the tools needed in laying or repairing natural gas and heating installations. It is much easier to do the compression process on the valves of the heater cores with a pipe wrench than with other wrench models.

Pipe wrenches are also needed to tighten the building main valves and other valves of the natural gas pipes laid inside the buildings.

Pipe wrenches can be easily used for mounting the iron parts of the water installation systems and for installing the water clock. For this process, wrenches, which we can call the little brother of pipe wrenches called froglet or English wrenches, can also be used.

We mostly talked about the construction sector as the usage area of ​​the pipe wrench, but as we mentioned before, there are other uses as well. For example, one of the indispensable hand tools of auto repair shops is the pipe wrench. Considering that many parts of the engine parts of the vehicles are iron and steel and these parts need to be poured from each other or mounted to each other, heavy hand tools are needed.
