Soil Pipe Torque Wrench

The Wheeler-Rex 1980 is a soil pipe torque wrench built for tightening drain components to a precise 80 in-lb setting. It uses a 5/16 in drive size and measures 6 1/4 in overall length. A ratcheting mechanism allows clockwise and counterclockwise operation for efficient fastening in plumbing applications.

Professional Plumbers and Drain Specialists

This tool suits professionals installing or repairing soil pipe systems who require a fixed 80 in-lb torque value for consistent joint integrity. It is not suited for technicians needing adjustable torque ranges or higher torque capacities for larger industrial fittings. Buyers requiring a tether-ready tool for safety compliance should look elsewhere.

Fixed 80 in-lb Torque Setting

The single specification that decides fit is the preset 80 in-lb torque limit. This exact value matches the requirement for specific soil pipe couplings and drain components. If the installation specification calls for a different torque value, this wrench cannot be used and an adjustable or differently rated tool is necessary.

Questions about this item

What drive-size socket or bit do I need to use with the 5/16 in drive on this Wheeler-Rex 1980 wrench?

Use any standard 5/16 in square-drive socket or bit; the wrench accepts common SAE drive tools for drain and trap work.

Can I keep using my existing SAE sockets with the 80 in-lb ratcheting mechanism?

Yes, the clockwise and counterclockwise ratchet works with standard SAE sockets on the 5/16 in drive.

How do I verify the wrench is clicking at the correct 80 in-lb setting after setup?

Apply torque slowly until the ratchet emits a distinct click and releases; that audible and tactile signal confirms the 80 in-lb limit has been reached.
