Pipe wrench Knipex 320 mm

The Knipex 320 mm pipe wrench is a tool engineered for secure gripping and turning of pipes and rounded fittings. Constructed from durable steel with a jaw width of 4.2 cm, this wrench provides firm contact with pipe surfaces while distributing clamping force to reduce slippage. With an overall length of 320 mm and a weight of 836 g, the tool balances leverage and maneuverability for a variety of plumbing and mechanical tasks.

Advantages

This pipe wrench combines hardened gripping jaws with a robust steel body to deliver reliable strength and wear resistance. The 4.2 cm jaw opening accommodates common pipe diameters while the 320 mm length gives effective leverage in confined spaces. The tool’s weight contributes to stability during use, and the design emphasizes longevity and consistent performance under repeated loads.

Suitable for

• Tightening and loosening threaded pipes and fittings
• Plumbing repairs and installations in residential and commercial settings
• Mechanical maintenance where round stock or cylindrical components need turning
• DIY projects involving metal or plastic piping

Key specifications

• Overall length: 320 mm
• Jaw width/opening: 42 mm
• Material: durable steel construction
• Weight: 836 g

How to use

Select the correct orientation of the pipe wrench so the jaws sit squarely on the pipe surface. Position the jaws around the pipe with the gripping faces fully engaged, then apply steady force to the handle in the intended turning direction. Use controlled pressure to avoid slipping; reposition the wrench as needed for additional turns. For smaller clearances, use the shorter overall length to work in confined areas while maintaining a secure grip.

Recommendations

Inspect the gripping faces for wear before use and avoid using the wrench on damaged or irregularly profiled workpieces. Apply force gradually and avoid sudden impacts. Clean and lightly lubricate the joint periodically to maintain smooth action and long life.
