Helpful Buying Guide

Choose a spanner wrench for the fitting engagement and size range you need

The right wrench starts with the connection you need to turn. Compare whether the component calls for a hook-style contact point, radial-hole pin engagement, or a square nose for notched ring nuts. Then match the wrench’s stated span or ring-nut range to the compatible component.

Planning Guide

Plan the right fit before choosing

Start with the fitting

Identify how the wrench needs to engage

Head design is the key comparison point. Hook spanners provide engagement for collars, locknut rings, bearings, and related fittings. Adjustable pin spanners use a round nose for compatible ring nuts with radial holes. Square-nose hook spanners engage notches in compatible ring nuts.

  • Hook styles support compatible fire hose and hydrant fitting adjustments.
  • Round-pin styles are for compatible radial-hole ring nuts.
  • Square-nose styles are for compatible notched ring nuts.
  • Certain pin and square-nose models are specified for compatible UNI/ISO 2982 and 2983 ring nuts.
Match the stated range

Choose adjustable or fixed sizing based on the job

For hose and hydrant work, adjustable hook models are offered in several span ranges. Ring-nut tools include adjustable articulated-jaw options as well as fixed-hook models for specified metric sizes. An adjustable jaw can cover a range of compatible sizes with one wrench, while a fixed style is suited to its listed sizes.

  • Hook-spanner span ranges include 1-1/4 to 3 in., 2 to 4-3/4 in., 4-1/2 to 6-1/4 in., and 6-1/8 to 8-3/4 in.
  • Adjustable pin and square-nose options include 35 to 50 mm and 50 to 80 mm ranges.
  • Fixed square-nose options cover 12 mm and 14 mm, or 16 mm, 18 mm, and 20 mm ring nuts.
  • Check both the component size and its engagement feature before purchase.
