The Expert By Facom E117822 is a robust 14-inch heavy-duty pipe wrench designed for professional plumbers, HVAC technicians, and serious DIYers who require a reliable tool for gripping and turning pipes. Its primary benefit is the combination of a durable cast iron body and heat-treated forged steel jaws, which provide a secure, slip-resistant grip on metal surfaces; however, users should be aware that the 33.4mm jaw capacity limits its use to smaller diameter pipes and fittings.

The maximum jaw capacity for this 14-inch model is 33.4mm.
Yes, but be aware that the aggressive teeth on the jaws may leave slight indentations on softer materials.
Wipe with a clean rag after use and remove any debris trapped in the teeth with a wire brush.
The E117822 is designed as a single unit; for professional-grade heavy-duty use, we recommend periodic maintenance of the teeth to extend the tool's life.
The 14-inch (350mm) measurement refers to the nominal length of the handle, which dictates the leverage the user can apply.
Clear any debris or grit from the threaded shank and apply a drop of lightweight machine oil.
Check that you are pulling in the correct direction and verify that the pipe diameter does not exceed the 33.4mm capacity.
This pipe wrench requires no assembly and is ready for use out of the box. Before use, ensure the adjustable nut moves freely along the threads; if it feels gritty, apply a small amount of machine oil. When gripping a pipe, ensure the teeth are fully engaged and that you are pulling in the direction of the jaw opening so the self-gripping action can function correctly. To maintain the tool, wipe the jaws clean of metal shavings and debris after every use to preserve the integrity of the teeth. Store the wrench in a dry, low-humidity environment to prevent surface corrosion on the steel jaws.
