The MP200 Tri Stand is a portable tripod pipe vise stand that holds pipe steady during threading, cutting, and bending. This portable chain vise has three folding legs that set up on any surface. The chain locks onto the pipe so both hands stay free to work. A folding lower tray keeps tools and oil within reach and folds flat for easy transport. The vise base has an integral pipe rest and pipe bending slots for field bends. Hardened replaceable jaws grip without slipping, and all parts interchange with RIDGID 460 style units.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tri stand used for?
A tri stand chain vise holds pipe at working height so a plumber or pipefitter can thread, cut, or bend pipe with both hands free. The three folding legs provide a stable base on uneven jobsite surfaces. It replaces the need for a bench-mounted vise on location.
Is the MP200 Tri Stand a good RIDGID 460 alternative?
Yes. The MP200 Tri Stand has the same core features (chain vise, folding tray, pipe bending slots, hardened jaws), and all parts interchange with RIDGID 460-style units. Replacement jaws and chains fit directly, so sourcing wear parts is straightforward.
What is the best tripod pipe vise for plumbing?
Look for hardened replaceable jaws, a folding tray for tools, and parts compatibility with standard units. The MP200 Tri Stand ships fully assembled with all three. Interchangeable parts with RIDGID 460 and Berkley BT335/BT333 style units mean replacement jaws are always available.
How do you use a tripod chain vise?
Set the three legs on a stable surface and lock them open. Place the pipe in the chain vise, pull the chain around the pipe, and tighten the screw to clamp it. The pipe sits at working height with both hands free for threading, cutting, or bending.
Should I use a tripod pipe vise or a bench vise?
The tripod pipe vise vs. bench vise choice depends on where you work. A tripod vise is portable. A bench vise stays fixed to a workbench. If you thread pipe at different locations, a portable pipe vise like the MP200 Tri Stand gives you a stable setup anywhere.
