Braxton Harris NES – Internal Pipe Wrench Set for 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" Pipe Nipples
The Braxton Harris NES internal pipe wrench set is designed for the removal of broken, corroded, or threaded pipe nipples from inside fittings where standard external wrenches cannot be used. Each wrench in the set expands internally to grip the pipe wall, providing secure engagement during extraction.
This set includes three wrenches covering 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" nominal pipe sizes, offering versatility for plumbing and mechanical service applications. Constructed from hardened steel, each wrench delivers the durability required for high-torque operations in confined or obstructed spaces.
Key Features
Internal Expansion Mechanism: Grips pipe from the inside for removal of damaged or recessed nipples.
Machined Steel Construction: Provides reliable torque transfer and long-term wear resistance.
Compact Size: Allows use in tight clearance areas, including wall cavities and valve boxes.
Compatible Sizes: Designed for 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" NPT pipe nipples.
Technical Specifications
Material: Heat-treated steel
Set Includes: Internal wrenches for 3/8", 1/2", and 3/4" nominal pipe
Insert the appropriate-size wrench into the pipe nipple, then expand it using a square-drive or open-end wrench to engage the inner pipe wall. Apply steady torque in the reverse direction to extract the fitting. Ensure the internal gripping mechanism is centered and seated before use to prevent slippage or internal pipe deformation.
Typical Use Cases
Plumbing Service: Removing broken or seized nipples from tees, elbows, and fittings
Mechanical Maintenance: Extracting internal pipe segments from manifolds or branch connections
Field Repairs: Emergency removal of sheared or rusted pipe sections in limited access conditions
