Wheeler-Rex 77 Pipe Shut Off Tool

The Wheeler-Rex 77 is a pipe shut off tool designed for temporary flow stoppage on plastic piping systems. It accommodates pipe sizes from 3/8 in to 2 in and is rated for use with polybutylene and polyethylene materials. The tool features adjustable cams to match different diameters and a swing-out construction that allows rapid deployment in confined spaces. Its plastic body provides corrosion resistance and keeps the unit lightweight for easy handling.

Plumbers working on plastic water or gas lines

This tool suits professionals who need to isolate a section of polybutylene or polyethylene pipe without draining the entire system. The adjustable stops and ratchet mechanism allow a secure clamp on a range of diameters. It is not intended for metallic pipe materials such as copper or steel, nor for pipe diameters outside the stated 3/8 in to 2 in range. Buyers requiring a shut-off solution for larger mains or different pipe materials should look at alternative equipment.

3/8 in to 2 in pipe capacity

The decisive specification is the pipe size range of 3/8 in minimum to 2 in maximum, which determines whether the tool fits the specific line being serviced. Adjustable cams cover the intermediate sizes within this window. If the target pipe falls outside these limits, the Wheeler-Rex 77 cannot be used safely or effectively.
