RSPUD Smooth Jaw Spud Wrench Key Features & Benefits

Finish-Safe Grip for Visible Installations

Ideal for:

• Exposed installations
• Customer-facing work
• Final adjustments after rough-in

Compact Size, Large Capacity

Despite its compact profile, the RSPUD delivers the capacity needed for professional service work.

• Length: 11 in (279 mm)
• Maximum jaw opening: 2-5/8 in (67 mm)

The compact design allows easy use in confined spaces while still accommodating larger fittings.

Easy Adjustment, Professional Control

A large thumb adjustment knob allows quick, precise jaw sizing. This makes the wrench easy to adjust during repeated tightening and loosening, improving efficiency and control on the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this different from a standard spud wrench?

Standard spud wrenches have toothed jaws that can damage finished surfaces. The RSPUD features smooth jaws that grip securely without marring chrome or brass.

Can this replace a pipe wrench?

No. This wrench is designed for finished and visible fittings. Pipe wrenches with teeth are better suited for rough or corroded pipe.

Is it suitable for tight spaces?

Yes. The compact 11-inch length makes it ideal for meter pits and confined service areas.

Will the smooth jaws slip compared to a toothed spud or pipe wrench?

No. The smooth jaws are engineered to provide secure, controlled grip on fittings without damaging the surface. While they are not intended for corroded or heavily seized pipe, they hold firmly on chrome, brass, and finished fittings where traditional toothed jaws would cause damage.

What types of fittings is this wrench best suited for?

The RSPUD Smooth Jaw Spud Wrench is ideal for round, finished fittings, including chrome and brass components, meter connections, and visible piping. It is not designed for rough steel pipe, heavily rusted fittings, or applications requiring aggressive teeth.

Is this wrench meant for installation or final tightening only?

Both. Many professionals use the RSPUD for installation, alignment, and final tightening on finished systems. It’s especially useful during the final stages of a job when surface appearance matters and rework needs to be avoided.
