The RIDGID 31095 (Model 814) is a 14-inch straight plumbing pipe wrench with a 2-inch pipe capacity. The body is aluminum with an I-beam handle; the hook jaws, heel jaws, and spring assemblies are forged alloy steel and field-replaceable. Total weight is 2-1/2 lbs.
The full-floating hook jaw and self-cleaning threads produce fast, one-hand ratcheting on pipe and fittings. Serviceable wear parts let a plumber rebuild the wrench instead of retiring it, which matters on a tool that lives on a jobsite or a service truck. The aluminum body cuts roughly 40% of the weight of a comparable steel wrench without reducing the jaw capacity.
This size is aimed at standard residential and commercial plumbing — threaded steel pipe, black iron, and galvanized work up to 2 inches, drain lines, and gas line service.
RIDGID has manufactured the pipe wrench in Elyria, Ohio since 1923, and the 31095 is listed as made in the USA.
