Bench Chain Vise 40215
The Ridgid 40215 is a bench-mounted chain vise designed to grip metal pipe from half an inch up to eight inches in diameter. It suits plumbers and maintenance crews who need a secure hold on round stock during threading, cutting or bending operations.
Pipe capacity limits
The chain mechanism accommodates a minimum pipe size of .5 in and a maximum of 8 in, so very small tubing or larger mains fall outside its range. The fixed working height of 5 in means the operator cannot raise or lower the pipe centreline to match bench height or personal preference.
Build and mounting implications
A screw handle drives the clamping action, giving fine control but requiring manual effort for each adjustment. The integrated pipe rest supports the workpiece while the bender feature allows on-the-spot forming, reducing the need to move the pipe between separate tools.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the .5 in or 8 in capacity for my pipe work?
The Ridgid 40215 handles the full range from .5 in up to 8 in, so one vise covers both small and large metal pipe without needing separate sizes.
What does the 5 in height mean when the vise is mounted on my bench?
The minimum and maximum height are both 5 in, giving a fixed working height that keeps the pipe centreline consistent for repeatable bending and threading.
How does the mounting screw handle affect clamping force on metal pipe?
The screw handle lets you tighten the chain securely around metal pipe up to 8 in, while the built-in pipe rest and bender feature support the workpiece during forming operations.
