The use of pipe pliers and wrenches is relatively convenient, but attention should also be paid to details to avoid unnecessary trouble. What are the specifications, models, and sizes of pipe pliers and wrenches.
1、 What are the specifications, models, and dimensions of pipe pliers and wrenches
Pipe pliers and wrenches are divided into metric and imperial systems, and the range and method of use for different sizes of pipe pliers and wrenches are different, as follows:
- If classified according to the metric system, common specifications and models include 15.0 centimeters, 20.0 centimeters, 25.0 centimeters, 30.0 centimeters, 35.0 centimeters, 45.0 centimeters, 60.0 centimeters, 90.0 centimeters, and 120.0 centimeters.
- If classified according to the imperial system, common specifications and models include 6 inches, 8 inches, 10 inches, 12 inches, 14 inches, 18 inches, 24 inches, 36 inches, and 48 inches.
2、 What are the details to pay attention to when selecting pipe pliers and wrenches - When choosing a pipe wrench, it is important to choose the appropriate size according to actual needs, which will make it more convenient to use and prevent loosening when tightening accessories. And the opening of the pipe wrench used should be slightly larger than the diameter of the workpiece to avoid affecting its later use.
- When using a pipe wrench, wait until the pliers clamp the workpiece tightly, and then press the wrench firmly to fix the workpiece. In addition, when fixing the pipe wrench, it is important to avoid slipping.
- If a force rod is needed, it must be ensured that the length is within the closed range. When using it, do not apply too much force to avoid exceeding the strength range that the pipe wrench can withstand.
- When using a pipe wrench, it is also necessary to check whether the fixing pin is fixed properly, and ensure that there is no cracking in the position of the clamp head and handle. If any abnormalities are found, try not to use it to avoid safety hazards.
- If using a relatively small pipe wrench, it is necessary to control the force used and not use too much force. Also, try not to use pliers and wrenches as hammers to avoid unnecessary damage. After using the pipe wrench, it is necessary to clean it thoroughly and apply butter on the surface.
