80 in-lb torque wrench for soil pipe

This Wheeler-Rex 1982 torque wrench is built for tightening soil-pipe connections to a precise 80 in-lb setting. It accepts both 5/16 in and 3/8 in drive sizes and measures 6 1/4 in overall length. A ratcheting mechanism allows clockwise and counter-clockwise operation for efficient fastening in plumbing installations.

Plumbers needing fixed 80 in-lb setting

The tool suits professionals who require a single, factory-set torque value for consistent soil-pipe joint assembly. It is not suited for technicians who need adjustable torque ranges or a calibration certificate for quality-control documentation. Workers requiring tether-attachment points for drop-prevention policies should select a different model.

Fixed 80 in-lb torque value

The decisive specification is the non-adjustable 80 in-lb torque limit, which matches the common requirement for no-hub soil-pipe couplings. If the job specification calls for any other torque figure, this wrench cannot be used and an adjustable or differently rated tool must be sourced.

Questions about this item

What drive sizes does the 1982 wrench accept for soil-pipe fittings?

The tool fits both 5/16 in and 3/8 in drive sockets, covering the common sizes used on drain-trap nuts.

How do I set the 80 in-lb click point and avoid over-torquing?

Turn the handle until the scale aligns with 80 in-lb, then ratchet clockwise or counter-clockwise; stop immediately when the wrench clicks.

Will the ratchet mechanism need lubrication or pawl replacement over time?

The ratchet is sealed for standard use; no routine lubrication is required, but a worn pawl can be serviced by a qualified tool repair shop.
