  • Compact 5 3/4 in length fits tight spaces
  • Ratcheting T-handle speeds repetitive tightening
  • 3/8 in drive suits standard soil-pipe sockets

Ridgid 14988 No-Hub Torque Wrench

The Ridgid 14988 is a T-shaped torque wrench designed for tightening no-hub soil pipe couplings. It features a 3/8 inch drive and a fixed torque setting of 80 in-lb. The tool ratchets in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. It measures 5 3/4 inches in overall length.

Who This Suits

Plumbers and pipefitters who install no-hub cast iron soil pipe systems will find this preset wrench useful for consistent coupling installation. It suits technicians who need a compact, ratcheting tool for repetitive torque application.

Not For Those Needing Adjustable Torque

Installers who require variable torque settings for different coupling sizes or materials should look elsewhere. This wrench is not tether capable for drop prevention. It does not suit applications needing a different fixed torque value or a standard straight handle.

80 in-lb Fixed Torque Setting

The single specification that determines fit is the fixed 80 in-lb torque limit with +/-8 percent accuracy in both directions. This preset value matches the common requirement for standard no-hub couplings. Verify that your specific coupling manufacturer specifies this exact torque before purchase.

Questions about this item

What drive size does the 14988 wrench accept for socket attachment?

The wrench uses a 3/8 in drive size for connecting sockets to no-hub coupling bolts.

How do I correctly set the 80 in-lb torque value on this T-shaped ratcheting wrench?

The wrench is factory preset to 80 in-lb; no adjustment is needed — simply ratchet clockwise or counterclockwise until the mechanism clicks.

How often should the +/-8% accuracy be verified on this torque wrench?

Check calibration annually or after any drop; send to a calibration lab to confirm the clockwise and counterclockwise tolerance remains within specification.
