UEMSI/HTV is now offering two new Heavy Duty Adjustable Hydrant Wrenches to its already extensive offering.
An, everyday hydrant wrench on the market today has a handle that is 7/8” in diameter and is 17 ½” long. The first thing that happens when you use these standard wrenches in the field to get a hydrant valve nut loose is that the handle bends- so your first solution is to put a steel tube over it for more torque and support. This might get the job done, but it can often bend the handle even more so.
We thought it was time to make the right tool for the job at-hand.
Thus, UEMSI/HTV’s all-new Heavy Duty Adjustable Hydrant Wrench has a 1 1/8” diameter steel handle, and is available in 17” length or 24” length for more strength where more pulling torque is needed to break a valve nut or hydrant cap loose. As well, the last 6” of each handle end is knurled, for a non-slip grip.
The handle and the wrench head are threaded, and by turning the handle, the wrench can be adjusted to fit any hydrant valve nut or hydrant cap nut. For more information, give us a call at (877) 389-9999.
