Parmelee 70123 G1 1-7/16″ OD Girth for H1 Handle, Light Gauge Pipe Wrench

What is the Parmelee 70123?

The Parmelee 70123 (G1 1-7/16) is a G1 girth for pipe, tubing or rod with a 1-7/16″ outside diameter (OD). The girth is the 3-piece head of the Parmelee pipe wrench that grips the pipe, tube or rod 360 degrees around its outside diameter. It mounts on the H1 light gauge handle (Parmelee 71001), sold separately.

The Parmelee wrench (sometimes spelled Parmalee), also called pipe tongs or a friction wrench, has no teeth: this girth closes around the work 360 degrees and does not mar polished pipe or piston rods.

The girth of the No. 1 wrench is drop forged steel, toughened and hardened by heat treatment. Standard girths like this one have a polished finish.

Which pipe size does the Parmelee 70123 fit?

It fits 1-7/16″ OD only. Parmelee makes a separate girth for each diameter of pipe, tubing or rod, and a girth cannot be used on any other diameter. Measure the outside diameter before ordering; for pipe known by its nominal size, see the IPS girths.

This diameter is also made for the No. 2 medium gauge wrench: G2 1-7/16″ OD (Parmelee 71134), for the H2 handle. Pick the girth that matches the handle you own; if you are choosing a new wrench, tell us the job and we confirm which size to quote.

In the G1 family Parmelee lists 15 standard OD sizes from 1/2″ to 1-7/16″, 3 IPS sizes from 1/2″ to 1″. Nearest listed OD sizes: 1-5/16″ (Parmelee 70122), 1-3/8″ (Parmelee 70121), 1-13/32″ (Parmelee 70119). Across the four wrench sizes, metric girths from 19 mm to 172 mm and other sizes are available on request, quoted separately.

What do you need for a complete Parmelee No. 1 wrench?

Besides this girth you need the H1 handle assembly (Parmelee 71001). Parmelee states that each wrench comes with a lock bolt (L1, 71005), adjusting nuts (N1, 71009) and a slip pin (P1, 71013), also sold as replacements. Girths and handles are sold separately; handle and girth can be shipped assembled on request, at an extra charge confirmed with the quote.
