The IPEX Model 074299 CPVC Sprinkler Head Adapter (SHA) Fitting Holdback Wrench is designed to aid in the service of CPVC fire sprinkler piping systems. The SHA Fitting Holdback Wrench is used to assist with the removal of a sprinkler installed in finished ceilings by applying a holdback on the sprinkler head adapter fitting, while a sprinkler wrench removes the sprinkler.
The wrench is specifically designed to work with IPEX CPVC sprinkler head adapter fittings. Since CPVC pipe and fittings are inherently flexible, caution must be taken to insure the pipe and fittings are properly restrained when removing a sprinkler.
The SHA Holdback Fitting Wrench is furnished complete with 3/8 in. drive socket extension and roller chain, see Figure 1. Two replacement chains are provided with each wrench. Replacement chain kits are separately available.
