Ridgid 31310 Chain Wrench 4 in Double End

SKU CH-HBP3-49FWK

A 12 in alloy steel chain wrench with a single-end jaw that grips 2 in to 4 in diameter pipes

  • Handles pipes up to 4 in diameter
  • 12 in overall length gives strong leverage
  • Alloy steel handle resists wear and breakage
  • Single end jaw grips round surfaces securely
  • Model 31310 built for large pipeline work

Built for 4 in pipe work

The Ridgid 31310 Chain Wrench is made for professionals who service pipelines up to four inches in outside diameter. Its alloy steel handle and single-end jaw deliver the strength needed for large pipe fitting and maintenance tasks. The twelve inch overall length gives enough leverage for one-handed operation on heavy jobs.

Chain grip limits on large diameters

The chain design wraps around the pipe to provide grip without damaging the surface, but it requires enough clearance to encircle the full circumference. Capacity runs from two to four inches, so pipes outside that range cannot be turned with this tool. Tight quarters or flush-mounted lines may prevent the chain from seating properly.

Replaces adjustable and strap wrenches

This wrench steps in when adjustable jaws slip on oversized pipe or when strap wrenches lack the torque for stubborn joints. The upgrade is worth it for daily work on two to four inch lines where a secure, non-marring grip saves time. It is not suited for smaller plumbing or for jobs needing a ratcheting action.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 31310 model for pipes up to 4 in?

Yes, the 31310 chain wrench handles pipes from 2 in to 4 in outside diameter, covering that full range with a single tool.

What does the 12 in overall length mean when I am turning a pipe?

The 12 in alloy steel handle gives you a long leverage arm so you can apply high torque one-handed on large-diameter pipe.

How does the double-end jaw design affect the grip on a 4 in pipe?

The single-end jaw engages the chain on one side only, so the tool bites in one direction and must be reversed to ratchet the other way.
