Spud wrench for pipe work

The Ridgid 31400 is a 12 inch spud wrench designed for gripping and turning pipe and fittings up to 2-5/8 inches. Its smooth, toothless jaws prevent marring on square or rectangular stock. The alloy steel construction and I-beam handle deliver durability and a secure grip for demanding pipe work. This hand tool suits plumbers and maintenance crews needing reliable jaw capacity.

Suited for pipe and fastener tasks

This wrench fits professionals who need a wide-opening, non-marring tool for cast iron or similar pipe. The toothless jaws make it unsuitable for jobs requiring aggressive bite on rounded or corroded surfaces. Users needing a lighter or shorter wrench for confined spaces should consider a different style. It is not intended for general-purpose nut and bolt work where a standard adjustable wrench is more practical.

2-5/8 inch jaw capacity decides fit

The maximum jaw opening of 2-5/8 inches determines which pipe sizes this wrench can engage. Buyers must match this capacity to the outer diameter of the pipe or fitting they plan to turn. If the application involves larger diameters, this model will not provide enough reach. No other specification overrides this limit for the intended use.

Questions about this item

Will the 12 in handle give enough leverage to free corroded fittings on older iron pipe I still service?

The 12 in overall length and I-beam handle deliver strong mechanical advantage, letting you apply high torque to stubborn joints without damaging the smooth, toothless jaws.

How can I verify the 31400 is gripping correctly after I adjust it on a 2-5/8 in pipe?

The smooth jaws should sit flush on flat or square stock with no rocking; if the wrench holds firm under load and leaves no tooth marks, the fit is correct.

Does the box include any jaw inserts or adjustment shims, or must I buy them separately?

The wrench ships as a single cast-iron unit with fixed smooth jaws; no inserts, shims or extra accessories are included or required.
