Pipe Vice Hinged Type

A hinged pipe vice is a plumbing tool specifically designed to securely hold pipes and tubes for cutting, threading, welding, or other assembly tasks.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features:

• Hinged Design: The main body hinges open, allowing for easy placement and removal of pipes. This makes it much faster and more convenient to work with various pipe sizes compared to a traditional fixed-jaw vice.
• Pipe Capacity: These vices can typically accommodate a range of pipe diameters, with some designed for specific size ranges.
• Jaws: One jaw is fixed, while the other is movable and typically lined with replaceable hardened steel teeth for a strong and secure grip on the pipe without crushing or deforming it.
• Mounting: A hinged pipe vice is usually bolted down to a stable workbench or other solid surface for secure use.

Benefits:

• Fast and Easy Pipe Handling: The hinged design allows for quick positioning and removal of pipes, improving workflow efficiency.
• Secure Grip: The vise provides a strong and stable hold on pipes of various sizes, preventing them from slipping or moving during work.
• Versatility: Suitable for various tasks like cutting, threading, welding, and assembly of pipes.
• Durability: Built to withstand the demands of plumbing work with strong materials like cast iron for the body and hardened steel for the jaws.

Applications:

• Professional plumbers and pipefitters
• DIY projects involving pipe cutting, threading, or assembly
• Repair and maintenance shops working with pipes
