RIDGID 228 Soil Pipe Assembly Tool
The RIDGID 228 Soil Pipe Assembly Tool is a professional plumbing tool designed to simplify the installation of 1-1/2-inch (40 mm) through 8-inch (200 mm) gasketed soil pipe. Built for speed, versatility, and ease of use, the Model 228 helps plumbing contractors and maintenance professionals assemble soil pipe and fittings efficiently without requiring extra loose attachments for the specified size range.
Handles 1-1/2-Inch Through 8-Inch Gasketed Soil Pipe
The RIDGID Model 228 accommodates gasketed soil pipe from 1-1/2 inches through 8 inches, providing broad capacity for commercial plumbing, drain, waste, and vent system installations. Its integrated design eliminates the need to keep track of separate loose attachments when moving between supported pipe sizes.
This versatility makes the RIDGID 228 particularly valuable on jobsites where several pipe diameters may be installed during the same project.
Easy Assembly of Pipe and Fittings
The RIDGID 228 is engineered for the assembly of straight pipe lengths, Y fittings, tees, and elbows. Its design allows these components to be assembled from virtually any angle, giving installers greater flexibility when working with complex piping layouts.
The tool provides controlled mechanical assistance for drawing gasketed pipe and fittings together, reducing the physical effort required during assembly.
Slim, Compact Design for One-Person Operation
A key advantage of the RIDGID 228 Soil Pipe Assembly Tool is its slim, compact construction. The tool is designed so one person can assemble even larger supported soil pipe sizes quickly and easily, helping improve productivity while reducing installation labor.
Vertical and Overhead Soil Pipe Assembly
For difficult installations, the handle can be removed to facilitate vertical and overhead pipe assembly. This feature makes the Model 228 useful in mechanical rooms, commercial buildings, renovations, and other locations where conventional assembly methods may be difficult.
The RIDGID 228 Soil Pipe Assembly Tool is an excellent choice for plumbing contractors, mechanical contractors, commercial construction, building maintenance, drain and waste piping, institutional facilities, and MRO operations requiring efficient assembly of gasketed soil pipe and fittings.
