Gearench VWP3 Petol Valve Wheel Wrench

The PETOL VALVE WHEEL WRENCH was designed for added safety when opening and closing stubborn valves.

The wrench has a special feature which fits over a spoke of the valve wheel to minimize the chance of the wrench slipping off the wheel when force is being applied.

In addition to this, the base pad has been improved by a deeper, more rounded design for a better fit on the valve wheel rim. This also reduces the chance of the wrench slipping.

Finally, the handle has been designed to provide the worker with a safer, more comfortable gripping area.

PETOL Valve Wheel Wrenches are made from aluminum-magnesium and come in three sizes to fit a wide range of valve wheel diameters.

Specifications:

• Overall Length (approx.): 25-1/2"
• Opening: 2-1/2"
• Weight: 7-5/8 lbs.

Safe Practices And Procedures

1. Valve Wheel Wrenches should fit over the valve wheel rim completely. Make sure that the wheel rim is in contact with the top of the wrench opening when applying force.
2. Brace yourself firmly and pull rather than push when wrenching. (If necessary to push, do so with the flat of the hand rather than gripping around the wrench.)
3. Keep the wrench in the plane of the valve wheel rim when pulling. Pulling at an angle increases the chance of slippage.
4. Never apply excess leverage to a wrench by means of a "cheater bar."
5. Never strike wrenches with hammers or other objects.
6. Safety Goggles must always be worn by persons in any area where hand and powered tools are being used.
