The H404 Tripod Chain Vise Pipe Install is a portable, highly stable solution designed exclusively for on-site pipe installation tasks—addressing the challenge of securing pipes in outdoor or remote locations where fixed workbenches are unavailable. Built for mechanical, electrical, and plumbing tradesmen, it combines a foldable tripod design with advanced tension control technology to deliver unmatched portability and lifelong steadiness. Unlike traditional chain vises (which require mounting to a workbench), this tool can be set up on uneven ground (such as construction sites, roadside ditches, or rural areas) in minutes, making it ideal for fieldwork. It functions as both a pipe vise (for clamping) and a portable work desk (for supporting tools), directly enhancing job site productivity by eliminating the need to transport heavy equipment. The tool’s durable construction (aluminum alloy tripod legs and steel chain vise) ensures it withstands harsh outdoor conditions, from extreme temperatures (-20°C to 60°C) to heavy rain.
Rapid Deployment: Two-step setup process eliminates installation hassles for immediate use: first, unfold the tripod legs and lock them in place using the spring-loaded pins; second, attach the chain vise to the tripod deck and adjust the chain to fit the pipe. No additional tools are required, allowing tradesmen to start working within 60 seconds of arriving at the job site.
Stability Technology: Patented Stable Lok™ system uses a tension-adjustment knob to fine-tune deck tension, ensuring lifelong sturdiness even after years of heavy use. The system compensates for minor wear in the tripod joints, preventing the deck from shifting during high-torque tasks like pipe threading or cutting.
Adjustable Levelling: Each tripod leg features a telescoping design (adjustable from 24” to 40”) and a rotating foot pad that tilts the deck by ±3 degrees. This allows users to level the vise on uneven ground—such as sloped construction sites or gravel surfaces—ensuring the pipe remains horizontal or vertical during work.
Portable Design: Flat-folding structure collapses to a compact size (49.5” in height and 5.25” in depth) when not in use, and the built-in carry handle enables briefcase-style transportation. The total weight of 12kg makes it easy to carry over short distances or load into a service van, while the aluminum alloy legs reduce weight without sacrificing strength.
Field Pipe Installation: Securing electrical conduit (for outdoor lighting, security systems, or power lines) and water pipes (for residential developments or rural irrigation) during underground or outdoor projects. The tripod’s stability on uneven ground ensures consistent pipe alignment, even in areas with no flat surfaces.
Welding Support: Grounding tab compatibility (located on the tripod deck) ensures safe welding operations by providing a secure connection point for welding leads. This eliminates the risk of electrical shock and ensures compliance with OSHA safety standards for field welding.
Emergency Repairs: Quick deployment for burst pipe repairs in remote locations—such as rural water mains, roadside drainage lines, or outdoor industrial pipelines. The tool’s portability allows maintenance teams to respond quickly to emergencies, minimizing downtime and water damage.
Q: What’s the maximum pipe capacity?
A: It secures pipes up to 6" in diameter with multi-material jaws (included in rubber for plastic pipes and steel for metal pipes). The chain vise features 12mm thick steel links that provide a secure grip without damaging pipe walls, and the chain length can be adjusted to fit smaller pipes (down to 1” diameter) by removing links.
Q: How compact is it for storage?
A: When fully folded, it measures 49.5” in height, 18” in width, and 5.25” in depth—small enough to fit in the side compartment of a standard service van or the trunk of a sedan. The foldable design also saves space in workshop storage areas, as it can be leaned against a wall or hung on a tool rack.
Q: Are replacement jaws available?
A: Yes, replacement jaws (both PVC-coated rubber and hardened steel) are sold separately for material-specific use. Rubber jaws are recommended for PVC, PEX, and CPVC pipes to prevent cracking, while steel jaws are ideal for galvanized steel, copper, and black iron pipes. Replacement jaws are easy to install—no tools are needed, and they typically last 6-12 months with regular use.
