Socket wrench Dedra 16R024 — 1 piece, hand socket wrench

Dedra 24x26mm pipe wrench, model 16R024, is a compact hand tool designed to grip and turn hexagonal pipes, fittings and nuts with 24 mm and 26 mm flats. It is intended for tasks that require a reliable mechanical hold in tight spaces, offering a practical solution for plumbing, installation and maintenance work where small-size pipe components are used. The wrench combines adjustable jaws with a compact body to maintain a balance between torque transmission and access in confined areas.

Advantages

The tool provides a secure mechanical grip on 24 mm and 26 mm hexagonal surfaces without slippage, reducing the risk of rounding fastener edges. Its compact size enables use in restricted spaces and makes it easier to store among other hand tools. The adjustable jaw geometry allows for quick engagement and release of fittings, while the solid construction supports repeated use in professional and DIY settings.

Suitable for

• Plumbing and pipe fitting work on small-diameter hexagonal fittings
• Installation and maintenance of household heating and water systems
• Repair tasks that require access in confined or hard-to-reach locations
• DIY projects involving metal piping and small fasteners

Key specifications

• Grip sizes: designed for 24 mm and 26 mm hex flats
• Tool type: adjustable pipe wrench for hexagonal fittings
• Form factor: compact hand tool suitable for confined spaces
• Construction: metal body with adjustable jaw mechanism for repeated use

How to use

Position the wrench so the jaws align with the hexagonal flats of the pipe or fitting. Adjust the jaw to fit snugly around the 24 mm or 26 mm surface, ensuring full contact across the flat faces to minimise slippage. Apply steady turning force in the required direction — for loosening or tightening — while maintaining alignment to avoid rounding. After use, wipe the tool clean and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and safety glasses when working with pipes under pressure or in environments with sharp edges. Do not use the wrench on rounded or damaged fasteners; select a different tool or replace the fitting to avoid further damage. Regularly inspect the jaw surfaces and adjustment mechanism for wear and ensure the tool is properly maintained for consistent performance.
