Reed Dual Socket Ratchet Wrenches, Thru-Bolt Design, Color-Coded Handles for Waterworks

Three Dual Socket Ratchet Wrenches, Six Bolt Sizes, 13 in. Handles, Thru-Bolt Open Center

Mechanical joints, flange bolts, repair clamps, and service saddles share six common bolt sizes. Each dual socket ratchet wrench covers two of those sizes, with a color-coded handle: blue for mechanical joints, green for flange bolts, yellow for Hymax couplings. The Thru-Bolt open center lets bolts pass through the head, so each waterworks ratchet wrench replaces separate regular and deep sockets on long-threaded fasteners.

Specifications

What's Included

• LV2017 (02950): 1x dual socket ratchet wrench, 1-1/4" and 1-1/16" sockets, blue handle
• LV1815 (02952): 1x dual socket ratchet wrench, 1-1/8" and 15/16" sockets, green handle

Each wrench is sold individually. For all three in a carrying case, see the LVDSSET (02930).

Key Features

• Dual-socket head, two bolt sizes per wrench: Each dual socket ratchet wrench pairs two commonly used waterworks sizes, cutting the number of tools in half compared to single-socket ratchets.
• Thru-Bolt open center, bolt passes through the head: The thru-bolt wrench lets long-threaded fasteners pass straight through the socket, replacing separate regular and deep sockets.
• Reversible ratchet, head switch for safe direction change: The reversible ratchet wrench tightens and loosens without lifting off the nut, and a switch on the head reverses direction instantly.
• Color-coded handles, application matched by color: Blue identifies the mechanical joint wrench (1-1/4" and 1-1/16"), green marks the flange bolt wrench (1-1/8" and 15/16"), and yellow marks the Hymax coupling wrench (3/4", 7/8", 19mm, 22mm).
• 13 in. handle, large ratchet teeth and pawl, easy to clean: The compact handle fits in tight valve pits and excavations, and the large teeth clear mud and debris between strokes.

How to Use a Dual Socket Ratchet Wrench

1. Select the wrench by handling color. Blue covers 1-1/4" and 1-1/16" hex nuts for mechanical joints. Green covers 1-1/8" and 15/16" hex for flange bolts. Yellow covers 3/4" and 7/8" (19mm and 22mm) for Hymax couplings.
2. Place either socket end on the hex nut. Seat the socket fully on the nut. The thru-bolt wrench center is open, so bolts of any threaded length pass straight through the head without interference.
3. Ratchet the handle to tighten or loosen. Pull the handle in a partial arc, then return it. The reversible ratchet wrench holds position on the nut while the handle resets. Use the head switch to reverse direction between tightening and loosening.

The 13 in. handle fits in tight valve pits and excavations where a longer handle would not clear. Three color-coded wrenches replace a full socket set for six common waterworks bolt sizes.

Applications

• Water utility crews carry the blue-handle mechanical joint wrench for joint assembly, restraint installation, and repair clamp work on water mains.
• Contractors use the green-handle flange bolt wrench for hydrant break flanges, friction clamps, and bonnet bolts during hydrant installation and service.
• Gas distribution technicians carry a dual socket ratchet wrench for tightening mechanical joint connections on gas distribution piping.
• Plumbers and pipefitters reach for a waterworks ratchet wrench during commercial and municipal plumbing projects with bolted joint fittings.
• Crews installing Hymax reducer couplings use the yellow-handle wrench for 3/4", 7/8", 19mm, and 22mm hex fasteners on reduction fittings.
