Frequently Asked Questions
What are chain wrenches used for on a ship?
Chain wrenches are used to grip and turn round objects such as pipes, valves, and fittings. They are especially useful in tight spaces where standard pipe wrenches cannot be positioned, making them essential for engine room and deck maintenance.
Can chain wrenches be used on stainless steel pipes?
Yes, but care is needed because the hardened teeth can scratch softer metals. To avoid damage to stainless steel or polished surfaces, wrap the pipe with a protective cloth or tape before using the wrench.
How do I choose the right size chain wrench?
Select the wrench that matches the maximum diameter of the workpiece you intend to grip. For example, a 24-inch chain wrench handles pipes up to 4 inches in diameter, while a 48-inch wrench handles up to 8 inches. Always allow some range for adjustment.
Are these chain wrenches corrosion-resistant?
Yes, they feature a corrosion-resistant coating designed for marine environments. However, after exposure to saltwater, rinse them with fresh water and lightly oil to keep them in peak condition.
