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.
