The RIDGID 31110 Model 836 36" Aluminum Straight Pipe Wrench delivers the sure grip and torque of a traditional pipe wrench, but weighs 40% less. The aluminum body with an I-beam handle reduces arm fatigue during long plumbing or maintenance jobs, while the hardened steel jaws provide strong, reliable purchase on pipes, fittings, and threaded components. Designed for plumbers, maintenance crews, and mechanical contractors, this wrench combines strength with manageable handling.
Switching from a steel wrench to the RIDGID 836 saves about 6 pounds compared to a steel wrench of the same length. That means less strain when you're reaching overhead or working in tight spaces. The I-beam handle maintains stiffness, so you can apply full torque without flex.
The jaws on the RIDGID 836 are replaceable. Over time, heavy use can wear the teeth or damage the gripping surface. RIDGID offers replacement jaw assemblies and hook jaws for the 836. To change them, remove the pivot pin, lift off the worn jaw, and install the new one. Replacing jaws extends the life of your wrench at a fraction of the cost of a new tool.
With a 36-inch length, the RIDGID 836 opens to a maximum pipe capacity of 5 inches. It's ideal for tightening and loosening galvanized pipe, black iron pipe, and large fittings in plumbing, industrial maintenance, and mechanical rooms. The straight design is perfect for turning pipe where there's room to swing the handle.
40% lighter aluminum body with I-beam handle reduces fatigue.

A steel 36-inch pipe wrench weighs about 14 pounds. The RIDGID 836 cuts that down to 8.5 pounds, so you can keep working longer without your arms giving out. The aluminum body is tough enough for daily pro use, and the I-beam handle provides superior stiffness for heavy twisting.
To keep the RIDGID 836 performing like new, inspect the jaws for wear before each job. If you see rounded teeth or visible damage, order a replacement jaw kit. With 30 seconds of work and the right pin, you can return the wrench to like-new condition.
Yes, the upper and lower jaws are replaceable. Replacement jaw assemblies are available from RIDGID and authorized parts distributors.
Remove the jaw pin, take off the old jaw, and install the new one. You'll typically need a punch and hammer or a drift. Make sure the jaw seats flat against the body before reassembly.
The 36-inch wrench handles pipe up to 5 inches in diameter.
Yes, the straight jaw design can grip hex nuts, but for repeated nut turning, a hex wrench may be quicker. This is primarily for pipe and round stock.
About 8.5 pounds, roughly 40% less than a steel wrench of the same length.
Light and strong. Does the job.
This wrench is very well built and comfortable to use. The aluminum body makes a big difference.
As a retired plumber, I've used many pipe wrenches over the years. This RIDGID is easily one of the best. The aluminum frame is remarkably light, which is essential when you're working overhead for hours. The jaws grip firmly and stay true. The 36-inch length gives plenty of leverage without being unwieldy. It's a quality tool that should last a lifetime.
It works really well and is lighter than steel. I just think it's a little expensive for occasional home use.
I've been doing plumbing work for a few years and this wrench is a game changer. It's so much lighter than my old steel one that I can work longer without my arm getting tired. The grip is comfortable and the jaws haven't slipped once. I also like the look of the aluminum body. It feels like a premium tool.
