Ridgid 40090 Bench Yoke Vise 12 .13 3 in
A bench yoke vise that clamps 0.13 to 3 inch metal pipe and includes a pipe rest and bender at a fixed 12 inch working height
- Holds pipe from 0.13 in to 3 in with bench yoke design
- Fixed 12-1/2 in height gives stable clamping on workbench
- Mounting screw handle provides secure grip for threading tasks
- Integrated bender and pipe rest support bending and holding operations
- Durable construction built for metal pipe compatibility
Bench Yoke Vise 1/8-3 in capacity
The Ridgid 40090 is a bench-mounted yoke vise designed to grip metal pipe from 1/8 in up to 3 in diameter. It suits plumbers and maintenance crews who need a fixed station for threading, cutting or bending pipe on site. The unit stands 12 1/2 in tall and includes an integrated pipe rest and bender for single-tool workflows. Buyers who need to clamp larger diameters or require a portable tripod stand should look elsewhere.
Manual operation thermal noise power
Because the vise is actuated by a mounting screw handle, it generates no heat, no audible noise and draws no electrical power during use. Clamping force is applied entirely by the operator, so there are no motor-related thermal limits or duty-cycle restrictions. The all-plastic construction in office white does not conduct heat from the workpiece to the user's hands. No power source or compressed air connection is required.
Plastic build mounting screw handle
The body is moulded in plastic with an office white finish, keeping weight low for bench installation while resisting corrosion from pipe residue. A mounting screw handle secures the vise to the work surface and provides the mechanical advantage needed to hold pipe up to 3 in. Integrated pipe rest and bender features mean the operator can support and form pipe without changing tools. The fixed 12 1/2 in height suits standard bench ergonomics.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the Ridgid 40090 bench yoke vise securely to my workbench?
Bolt the base through its mounting holes using the screw handle to clamp pipe from .13 to 3 in; the step most users miss is tightening the handle fully before applying bending force.
Which parts of the 40090 will wear first and need replacement?
The screw handle threads and jaw faces take the most wear; keep threads clean and lubricated, and replace jaws when pipe grip slips on 3 in pipe.
What limits continuous use of the 40090 on maximum-size pipe?
The 12 1/2 in fixed height and screw-handle torque limit sustained bending on 3 in pipe; operator fatigue and handle slip appear before the frame yields.
