Reed R110HEX Offset Hex Wrench

Smooth Jaw Offset Hex Wrench for Chrome Valves, Meters, and Brass Fittings

Product Overview

Hex fittings on flush valves, meters, and drains often sit behind pipes or inside recessed cavities where a straight wrench cannot reach. The Reed R110HEX offset hex wrench grips these fittings from an angle, clearing obstructions that block a straight approach. This non-marring hex wrench opens to 2 5/8 inches, measures 10 inches long, and weighs 1.6 lbs for one-hand use in tight spaces.

Key Features of the Reed R110HEX Offset Hex Wrench

• Offset Head for Obstructed Fittings. The offset jaw angle lets this offset hex wrench reach hex fittings behind pipes, inside recessed valve cavities, and under obstructions where a straight wrench has no room to engage. The offset also provides clearance for the handle to swing without hitting adjacent surfaces.
• Hex-Specific Smooth Jaws. The jaws grip hex fittings on the flats without teeth marks or surface damage. This non-marring hex wrench protects chrome, brass, and other finished connections where a smooth jaw hex wrench prevents the tool marks that lead to fixture replacement.
• Ductile Iron Body with Forged Steel Hook Jaw. The Reed R110HEX offset hex wrench uses ductile iron for the body and forged steel for the hook jaw. Ductile iron absorbs impact without cracking, and forged steel holds its shape under repeated torque loads. This outperforms cast iron housing found in competing hex pipe wrench models.
• Compact 10-Inch, 1.6 lb Form Factor. At 10 inches (254 mm) and 1.6 lbs (0.7 kg), the R110HEX is the lightest wrench in Reed's smooth jaw lineup. The compact size fits into meter pits, cabinet undersides, and mechanical rooms where a larger wrench for chrome fittings would not clear surrounding piping.

Offset vs Straight: When to Use the R110HEX Instead of a Straight Smooth Jaw Wrench

Reed smooth jaw wrenches come in two form factors: offset (R110HEX) and straight (RSPUD). Both grip without marring, but the jaw geometry determines which fittings each wrench can access. Choose based on the fitting location and shape.

Use the Reed R110HEX offset hex wrench, a compact, smooth-jaw hex wrench, for fittings behind pipes or inside recessed cavities where a straight approach is blocked. The offset head clears surrounding piping so the handle can swing freely. For hex fittings in open, accessible locations, or for fittings that are not hex-shaped, the Reed RSPUD smooth jaw wrench provides a wider fitting range and more leverage at 11 inches.

Applications

• Chrome valve installation and service on commercial flushometers, flush valves, and decorative bathroom fixtures where an offset hex wrench reaches the recessed hex body without scratching the chrome finish
• Utility meter connections and drain fittings where hex nuts sit behind supply piping, making the non-marring hex wrench the only way to grip without teeth marks or surface damage
• HVAC thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) powerhead replacement where the hex pipe wrench reaches the valve body in tight refrigerant line assemblies
• Commercial building maintenance on Sloan flush valves, urinal spuds, and sink tailpieces where a wrench for chrome fittings prevents the tool marks that lead to fixture replacement
