REED
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about REED from 3G Electric.
What is the jaw capacity range of REED ratcheting pipe wrenches?
REED ratcheting pipe wrenches are available with jaw capacities of 1 in and 1 1/2 in. The 1 in model (MW3/4) has an 11 in overall length, while the 1 1/2 in model (MW1-1/4) is 16 in long. Both feature serrated jaws and an I-beam alloy steel handle. These wrenches are designed for one-handed operation in confined spaces where a standard two-handed wrench cannot be used. The ratcheting mechanism allows continuous turning without repositioning the wrench on the pipe.
What are the flow and head specifications of REED stick-style cordless dewatering pumps?
REED stick-style cordless dewatering pumps deliver a maximum flow rate of 15 gpm and a maximum head of 12 ft. They are equipped with 1 1/2 in male and 2 3/4 in female connections. Models are available for 18 V or 20 V battery platforms, and some kits include a charger while others do not. These pumps are intended for removing standing water from construction sites, basements, pits, and trenches. The stick design allows the pump to be placed directly into confined spaces without priming.
What pipe diameters can REED hinged metal pipe cutters handle?
The REED H4S hinged 4-wheel cutter is designed for metal pipe with an outer diameter from 2 in to 4 in. It has a 22 in tool length and is constructed from stainless steel. The hinged design allows the cutter to be placed around the pipe and operated in confined spaces where a full rotation is not possible. This model is suitable for cutting steel, stainless steel, and other metal pipes within the specified OD range.
What types of plastic tubing can REED shears and cutters cut?
REED plastic tubing and hose cutters are available in two main types: the RS2 ratcheting shear and the SC125 standard shear. The RS2 has a cutting capacity of 0 to 2 in outer diameter and a 17 in tool length, with ABS construction. The SC125 has a cutting capacity of 0 to 1 3/4 in outer diameter and an 8 1/2 in tool length. Both are used for cutting PEX tubing in plumbing and radiant heating applications, as well as other plastic tubing and hose within their capacity ranges.
Are REED cordless dewatering pumps compatible with standard battery platforms?
REED stick-style cordless dewatering pumps are available in models that operate on 18 V or 20 V battery platforms. Specific compatibility depends on the model: for example, the CP15-38 operates on 18 V, while the Pump Stick Kit operates on 20 V. Some kits include a charger, while others are supplied as tool-only. Buyers should confirm the battery platform and charger inclusion for the specific SKU. These pumps are designed for portability and do not require a corded power source.
What materials are REED pipe wrenches and cutters made from?
REED ratcheting pipe wrenches are made from alloy steel with an I-beam handle design. The hinged metal pipe cutter (H4S) is constructed from stainless steel. Plastic tubing cutters use ABS material for the handle and body. These material choices are intended to provide durability and resistance to wear in industrial and construction environments. The serrated jaws on the wrenches are designed to grip pipe securely without slipping.
