Product Identity

The Ridgid 36273 is a portable chain vise built for plumbing professionals who need secure pipe holding on job sites. It suits installers and repair technicians working with pipe diameters from 1/8 to 6 inches.

Construction Benefits

A ductile iron work surface resists wear during repeated clamping cycles. Hardened steel jaws maintain grip on pipe walls without slipping. Tubular legs provide a stable base that can be moved between work areas.

Questions about this item

Does the chain or jaws on the Ridgid 36273 need periodic replacement?

The hardened steel jaws and chain resist wear; inspect them regularly and replace only if teeth become rounded or links stretch beyond safe clamping.

What limits continuous use of the 36273 on a job site?

The ductile iron work surface and tubular legs handle heavy pipe up to 6" diameter; stability on uneven ground becomes the practical limit during all-day threading.

How much heat or noise does the 36273 produce during extended operation?

The vise itself generates no heat or noise; only the threading or cutting tools create sound and warmth while the 36273 holds the pipe securely.
