Can this vise grip be used with poly pipe 1" or will it perforate the pipe, water poly pipe?

You can adjust how hard it grips with the screw on the end, but you have to use a light touch with plastic pipe. It won't put a hole in it but it will mark the outside of the pipe. One trick is to put a small piece of cloth in the jaws, and adjust the wrench so it does not grip the pipe really tight.

I wouldn't use it on any type of plastic pipe. These things have a good bite to them and will more than likely damage your pipe. Maybe a cut up bicycle tube between the pipe and jaws of the tool?!? Otherwise your probably going to leave marks on the surface. Clamp too tight and you can crush the pipe. I use these to compress steel split ring bushings.

the overflow pipe is 1 inch. I used the white PVC pipe connected to my 3 others rain barrel. It worked fine

You can open the vise 7" and still have good control with what you are working with. I have not needed to use the vise opened that wide, but times that I have used the vise it has done everything I wanted it to do. I used it to hold the wooden model ship I am building, also for some small repairs around the house.

It will work with either 2 inch or 2 1/2 inch. For 2 inch, you slide the 2" pipe into the opening. For 2 1/2 inch, you slide an ordinary slip-slip 2 1/2 inch coupler over the outside of the stub and then slide a 2 1/2 inch pipe into the other end of the coupler. Make sure you use a combination cement listed as suitable for both PVC and CPVC or you will not achieve a proper seal.

Mine came with a grip. If you get one that doesn't have the grip a 3/4 inch pipe insulation pad will work.

I am not a plumber, but I do not believe this will work with 1/2" plumbling. I had a 1" line put in. These are pretty high tech and designed to work according to their specs. I also do not think plastic would work due to temperature. Troy.

Hey Bob. The Wilton vise will sit flush with tops up to 3 inches thick. Mine is 2 1/4" so it required a 3/4" shim between the top and the vise. This vise is expensive but worth every penny. It works flawlessly and the quick release feature is the best I've seen. You will have to make some jaw liners but you are a woodworker after all. Piece of cake.

I used 1/2" pipe for everything and had no problems at all. This is a great product.

From what I have read no it will not work for the poly only the metal frame. Hope that help's.

Well, the shark bite poly pipe is PEX, isn't it? These are made to work with PEX. That is what they are designed for.

These fittings have a 3/4 inch slip fitting that a short piece of PVC pipe can be glued into. You can then use another fitting that is slip on one side and threaded on the other and use a 3/4 screw cap fitting.

After trying to regrip a big butt graphite shaft, I would have to say no. The universal ball joint is inherently unstable and the clamps on the jaws are just too narrow and smooth to really hold that rubber shaft gripper. Do yourself a favor and spend the money for a bolt down vise. You'll make your job a lot easier.

The p trap size is very unusal. Maybe inch and 1/4th. I had to use a black rubber connector with a different size on each end and two hose clamps to fit mine together. This can be found atmost all lumber yards. I dought if you will find the right size pipe to rough in with and if you did, what happens when you change to a new sink?that is for the sewer. Water line is a standard 3/8 inch , drain is the problem not the water. hope this helps as I am not a plumber.

Yes, but maybe you will find a little a problem to make the pipe properly hold in the saw. Get a miter saw if you going to cut PVC.

Mine is a 1 1/2 inch pipe, but I'm sure you can use a reducer/adapter to fit.

I assume you're talking about the shower bar, which this part "rides on", as opposed to the clear plastic shower holder. My Hansgrohe bar is 7/8" in diameter and is snug. It doesn't appear that a 1" diameter bar would fit.

Yes you can. It works on different sizes of PVC. Take it to the hardware store and test some sizes out first before getting the pipes to see what you like better.
