V-Head Pipe Stand 12 Inch Capacity

The Ridgid 22168 V-Head Pipe Stand supports metal pipe from 1/8 inch up to 12 inch diameter. Its tubular steel construction handles a maximum load capacity of 2,500 lb. The folding leg style allows the stand to collapse for transport or storage on job sites.

Height Adjustment 28 To 51 Inches

A locking ring enables quick vertical height adjustment between 28 inches minimum and 51 inches maximum. The legs spread up to 23 1/2 inches wide to provide a stable base. The complete unit weighs 24 lb for manageable positioning by a single worker.

Sustained Load Stability 2500 Lb

Under continuous heavy pipe loads the stand maintains its set height without slipping thanks to the locking ring mechanism. The wide leg spread resists tipping forces during extended threading or welding operations. No rollers are present so the V-head cradles the pipe securely without lateral movement.

Questions about this item

How do I set up the V-Head Pipe Stand and what step is often missed?

Unfold the legs until they lock at the 23 1/2 in spread, then use the locking ring to raise or lower the V-head between 28 in and 51 in; the step often missed is confirming the ring is fully seated before loading pipe.

What maintenance or replacement will this pipe stand need over time?

Inspect the folding leg hinges and locking ring threads periodically for wear; lubricate moving joints and replace any bent tubular steel sections or damaged V-head surfaces to maintain the 2500 lb capacity.

What limit appears first when the stand is used continuously at heavy loads?

The 2500 lb maximum load capacity is the primary limit; exceeding it risks structural deformation of the tubular steel frame or V-head, so stay within the rated capacity during sustained use.
