Non-Marring Smooth Jaw Pipe Wrench for Chrome, Brass, and Finished Fittings

Product Overview

Pipe wrench teeth scratch chrome supply tubes and gouge brass fittings. On a finished installation, that surface damage means a callback. The Reed RSPUD smooth jaw wrench is a non marring pipe wrench that grips fittings without marking the surface, keeping the job clean the first time. This smooth jaw pipe wrench opens to 2 5/8 inches and fits tight spaces at 11 inches long.

Key Features

  • Smooth, Non-Marring Jaws. The jaws grip chrome, brass, and other finished fittings securely without leaving teeth marks or scratches. Unlike a standard pipe wrench, this smooth jaw pipe wrench keeps the fitting surface intact for customer-facing installations where appearance matters.
  • Ductile Iron Body with Forged Steel Hook Jaw. The Reed RSPUD smooth jaw 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 combination outperforms cast iron handles in daily service work.
  • 2 5/8-Inch Jaw Opening. The jaw opens to 2 5/8 inches (67 mm), large enough for meter connections, corp stops, and oversized slip nuts. This non marring adjustable wrench handles fittings that most standard adjustable wrenches cannot reach.
  • Compact 11-Inch Length. At 11 inches (279 mm), the RSPUD fits into meter pits, cabinet undersides, and confined service areas where a full-size non marring wrench would not fit. The compact size also reduces the risk of bumping nearby finished surfaces during the work.

Reed Smooth Jaw Wrench Lineup: Choosing the Right Model

Reed smooth jaw wrenches come in four models for different fitting types and sizes. Each is a non marring wrench that grips without teeth, but the jaw shape and capacity vary. Choose based on the fitting size and shape you work with most.

Model Max Opening Length Weight
R110HEX 2 5/8 in (67 mm) 10 in (254 mm) 1.6 lbs
RSPUD 2 5/8 in (67 mm) 11 in (279 mm) 2.6 lbs
RCORP 4 1/2 in (114 mm) 18 in (457 mm) 4.4 lbs
RCORP3 4 1/2 in (114 mm) 14 in (356 mm) 5.0 lbs

The RSPUD is the general-purpose smooth jaw pipe wrench in Reed's lineup. It handles square, hex, and octagonal shapes on the chrome and brass fittings that plumbing service work encounters daily. For hex-only fittings, the R110HEX offset smooth jaw wrench reaches around obstructions with its offset head.

For waterworks crews tightening 2-inch corp stops, the RCORP and RCORP3 offer 4 1/2-inch openings. A smooth jaw wrench for meter connections and corp stops is also recommended by brass fitting manufacturers Ford Meter Box and A.Y. McDonald.

Applications

  • Chrome and brass supply tube connections in residential and commercial bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms where a smooth jaw wrench prevents tool marks on finished surfaces
  • Utility meter installation and service where crews tighten and loosen meter connections, corp stops, and brass fittings daily and use a non marring pipe wrench to prevent surface damage
  • HVAC system connections on visible mechanical room piping where the smooth jaw pipe wrench keeps fittings presentable for facility inspections and customer walkthroughs
  • Final-stage plumbing tightening on exposed, customer-facing installations where a non marring adjustable wrench prevents the rework that teeth marks from standard pipe wrenches cause

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a non marring pipe wrench used for?

A non marring pipe wrench is used to tighten and loosen fittings that have finished or visible surfaces. Plumbers use them on chrome supply tubes, brass valves, meter connections, and other fittings where pipe wrench teeth would leave permanent scratches or gouge marks.

What is the difference between a smooth jaw wrench vs pipe wrench?

A smooth jaw wrench has flat, toothless jaws that grip without damaging the surface. A pipe wrench has serrated teeth that bite into the material for maximum grip on rough or corroded pipe. Use a smooth jaw wrench on finished fittings and a pipe wrench on raw pipe.

How does the Reed RSPUD compare to the RIDGID spud wrench?

The Reed RSPUD vs RIDGID spud wrench: both open to 2 5/8 inches with smooth jaws. The RSPUD has a ductile iron body with forged steel hook jaw, while the RIDGID 31400 uses a malleable iron handle. The RSPUD is 11 inches long; the RIDGID is 12 inches.

Will a smooth jaw wrench damage chrome fittings?

No. A smooth jaw wrench grips with flat, toothless jaws that do not scratch, gouge, or mar the surface. The Reed RSPUD smooth jaw wrench is specifically made for chrome, brass, and other finished fittings where surface appearance matters.

Can I use a smooth jaw wrench for meter connections?

Yes. Brass fitting manufacturers including Ford Meter Box and A.Y. McDonald recommend using a smooth jaw wrench for meter connections, corp stops, and service line fittings. The RSPUD's 2 5/8-inch jaw opening fits most standard meter connection sizes.
