Adjustable V-Head Pipe Jack With Internal Safety Stop, 28" to 49" Height, 2,000 lb Capacity
Overview
A V-head pipe jack without a safety stop can collapse onto an operator's hands during height adjustment. The Reed JHV prevents this with a patented internal safety stop that maintains a 1" safety zone. It adjusts from 28 to 49 inches, holds up to 2,000 lbs, and supports pipe from 1/8" to 36" on a tripod base. Weight is 22.8 lbs.

Key Features
- Internal Safety Stop. A patented mechanism inside the jack column creates a 1" safety zone that prevents the head from dropping onto the operator's hands or fingers during height adjustment. This feature is specific to Reed pipe jacks.
- 2,000 lb Weight Capacity. The jack supports loads up to 2,000 lbs (909 kg), which covers most pipe sizes and materials encountered on commercial and industrial job sites.
- 28" to 49" Height Range. An adjusting screw sets the working height, and a hardened steel locking ring holds it in place. The 21-inch range accommodates different work surfaces and pipe elevations without shimming.
- 1/8" to 36" Pipe Capacity. The V-head cradle seats pipe from 1/8" instrument tubing up to 36" large-diameter pipe. This range covers plumbing, mechanical, and structural pipework in a single jack.
- Tripod Base With Rounded Feet. Three legs provide a stable platform on uneven ground. The feet are rounded to reduce the risk of cuts or punctures when carrying and positioning the jack.
Alternate Heads
The JHV ships with a standard V-head, but Reed manufactures alternate heads that fit the same jack body. Swapping heads lets you match the pipe support to the task without replacing the entire stand. Contact us for available head options.
Applications
The Reed JHV is a V-head pipe jack for supporting pipe during fabrication and field work:
- Holding pipe at working height during welding and fit-up
- Supporting pipe for threading on portable power drives
- Pipe alignment before coupling or flanging
- Roll grooving support for mechanical joining
- Overhead pipe runs where the pipe must be held in position during installation
- Any job site operation where pipe needs stable, adjustable support

Frequently Asked Questions
Reed JHV vs JFV pipe jack: what is the difference?
Both are Reed pipe jacks with the same 28-to-49" height range and internal safety stop. The Reed JFV has folding legs for compact transport, while the JHV has fixed tripod legs and a simpler design. Choose the JFV if portability matters; choose the JHV for a permanent shop or when the jack stays on site.
What is the best pipe jack stand for welding?
For pipe welding, a pipe jack with adjustable height and sufficient weight capacity keeps the pipe stable and at the correct elevation. The JHV holds 2,000 lbs and adjusts from 28 to 49 inches, which covers standard welding table heights. The internal safety stop adds a layer of protection during repositioning between welds.
How much weight can a V-head pipe jack hold?
The JHV holds up to 2,000 lbs (909 kg). This is enough for most steel, cast iron, and large-diameter plastic pipe. Always verify the combined weight of the pipe and any fittings before loading, and use multiple jacks to distribute the load on long runs.
What is a pipe jack internal safety stop?
An internal safety stop is a built-in limiter that keeps the adjustable head from free-falling when the locking ring is loosened. On the JHV, Reed's patented design holds the head within a 1" controlled drop, which protects the operator during height changes. Most competing pipe jacks do not include this feature.
Pipe jack stand for large diameter pipe?
The JHV supports pipe up to 36" in diameter, which is wider than most pipe jacks on the market. For pipe larger than 12", confirm that the V-head width and the weight capacity are both sufficient for the material and wall thickness.
