Chain pipe wrench YATO YT-22260, chain type, 300 mm, red/yellow handles

YATO YT-22260 is a chain pipe wrench with a 300 mm reach, designed to grip and turn round pipes and irregularly shaped objects. The chain-based clamping mechanism allows the tool to wrap securely around various diameters, while the red and yellow handles improve visibility on busy work sites. The compact profile of the wrench makes it suitable for plumbing, maintenance and repair tasks where space is limited or where traditional pipe wrenches cannot achieve a reliable hold.

Advantages

The chain system provides an even distribution of clamping force around the pipe, reducing the risk of slippage and damage to soft or irregular surfaces. The adjustable working range accommodates a variety of pipe diameters, and the compact head and long handle ratio deliver good leverage in confined spaces. Dual-colour handles enhance hand positioning and visibility; the build is intended for repeated use in professional settings.

Suitable for

• Plumbing work on round and irregular pipes in residential and commercial systems
• Maintenance and repair tasks in tight or hard-to-reach locations
• Installing or removing threaded pipe fittings and couplings
• Working with metal, plastic or composite piping where a flexible grip is needed

Key specifications

• Tool type: chain pipe wrench
• Working length: 300 mm
• Clamping mechanism: chain-based wrap-around design
• Handle finish: dual-colour (red and yellow) for improved visibility
• Adjustability: adjustable working range for multiple diameters

How to use

Place the chain around the pipe or object to be turned and engage the chain into the wrench head so the chain seats securely. Position the handle to obtain the desired leverage, then apply steady force to turn the pipe or fitting in the required direction. For best control, maintain a firm two-handed grip on the handle and body where appropriate, and re-adjust the chain position if slippage occurs or if a different contact point is needed.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the chain and head for wear before use and ensure the chain is free of debris. Avoid excessive force that could deform thin-walled pipes; where possible, support the pipe to distribute load. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working in confined or hazardous environments.
