Protect valve wheels from damage and burrs by leveraging force on the outer rim.
VWALP1 and VWALP2 are made of aluminum for low spark potential.
Reed designs are safer because handle bend
Valve Wheel Wrenches grip the rims of hand valve wheels securely and provide
leverage for opening and closing. These wrenches are the solution for handling
hard-to-open valves. Choose a wrench based on the hook opening. The hooks work
without gouging the wheel rim. OSHA inspectors can assess penalties for using a pipe
wrench on a valve wheel rim as wrench teeth can leave sharp burrs on the wheel rim,
which result in hand injuries. VWAL P1 and VWAL P2 valve wheel wrenches have low
spark potential due to aluminum-magnesium alloy construction. Design and construction
of Reed’s valve wheel wrenches permit the wrench to bend before breaking, thus
warning users of valve turning overload.
