Valve Wheel Wrenches

Raptor Supplies offers a wide range of valve wheel wrenches from brands like Ampco, Westward and Wheeler-Rex for opening or closing rims of hand valve wheels. The F-shaped wheel wrenches by Westward allow a smooth snap hammer action to enable opening and closing of the valves without slippage, while working in a crowded or overhead position. They further come with a powder-coated finish for protection against scratching, fading and chipping. Raptor Supplies offers a huge variety of these valve wheel wrenches in lengths ranging from 10 to 48 inches.

• Identify the valve that needs to be operated and locate the handwheel on the valve.
• Obtain the correct size and type of valve wheel wrench designed to fit the handwheel on the valve.
• Place the head of the wrench over the handwheel of the valve so that it fits securely in place.
• Grab the handle of the valve wheel wrench firmly with one hand.
• Use your other hand to hold onto the valve or any other stationary object for support.
• Begin to turn the handle of the valve wheel wrench in the desired direction, either clockwise or counterclockwise.
• As the handle is turned, the shaft of the wrench will rotate and the head of the wrench will apply torque to the handwheel of the valve.
• The amount of torque required to operate the valve will depend on the size of the valve and the amount of force needed to overcome any resistance.
• Continue to turn the handle until the valve has been opened or closed as needed.
• After operation, remove the valve wheel wrench from the handwheel of the valve and store it in a safe place.

Wheeler Rex Valve Wheel Wrenches:

• They feature aluminium construction for structural rigidity and lightweight operations.
• These wrenches have painted finish to resist corrosion on exposed surfaces.
• They reduce the force to open / close valves having a handwheel.

Ampco Valve Wheel Hooks:

• They have nickel aluminium bronze construction for structural rigidity, enhanced strength and corrosion resistance.
• These non-sparking wheel hooks are used at places where liquids, vapours or dust are present.
• They offer non-magnetic properties for using near-clean room environments,sensitive magnetic equipment and MRIs.

Westward Valve Wheel Wrenches:

• They have alloy steel construction for structural rigidity and aesthetic appearances.
• These valve wheel wrenches feature powder coated finish to resist corrosion on exposed surfaces.
• They are placed through the spokes of the handwheel and reduce the amount of force needed to open or close valves.
