RIDGID 31320 Chain Wrench
The RIDGID 31320 Chain Wrench is an 18 inch alloy steel hand tool designed to tighten or loosen pipes. Its double-end chain configuration fits pipe capacities from 2-1/2 to 5 inches. Smooth jaw surfaces allow easy insertion into tight spots while maintaining durability for demanding plumbing or mechanical tasks.
Suited for pipe work in confined areas
This wrench suits plumbers and maintenance technicians who need reliable grip on mid-size pipes within restricted spaces. The double-end design helps access awkward angles on longer pipe runs. Buyers who require a wrench for pipes larger than 5 inches or smaller than 2-1/2 inches should look at a different capacity tool.
Handles 2-1/2 to 5 inch pipe
The chain wrench comfortably handles pipe diameters between 2-1/2 and 5 inches with its 18 inch handle providing leverage for standard tightening and loosening jobs. It runs out of capacity beyond the 5 inch upper limit and cannot engage pipes below the 2-1/2 inch minimum, so those sizes require alternative tooling.

Questions about this item
What pipe diameters can the Ridgid 31320 chain wrench grip?
The wrench fits pipes from 2-1/2 in to 5 in, so the pipe you are working on must fall within that range for the chain to engage properly.
How does the 18 in handle length affect leverage on larger pipes within the 2-1/2 to 5 in capacity?
The 18 in alloy steel handle provides substantial leverage for the full capacity range, letting you apply high torque on 5 in pipes without needing a cheater bar.
How can I confirm the chain is seated correctly before applying full force?
With the smooth jaw faces fully engaged and the chain wrapped snugly around the pipe, the wrench should not slip when you apply light pressure in the turning direction.
