Bulkhead Wrench

[Snoopy 67]

I know I saw a picture, can't find it now that I need it.
Would the person making these please contact me.
I would like a "special".

I think precision marine makes them

You mean like a big ole socket to fit over? or a C shaped wrench?

 

[Snoopy 67]

C shaped like a Flare Wrench.

 

[Shirak]

What size bulkhead nut? Are you in the US?

 

[Snoopy 67]

Yes, in LI, NY.
Looking for 2 - 1" & 1 - 1.5" bulkhead sizes.
Something 2.5 - 3 inches high so I can grab it with my big mits.

Schedule 40? I don't think I have 1 and 1.5" bulkheads around the house to measure the nuts. Are you able to measure the size wrench opening needed? I might be able to find it online.

 

[Snoopy 67]

Neither do I. Might be able to get that later this week.

 

[Shirak]

This was a quick thing I made so I could tighten some bulkheads in an overflow. Needs a little tweaking but is this roughly what you are looking for? I will dig through my box of plumbing and see what size bulkheads I have.

 

[Snoopy 67]

Yes sir it is.

 

[Shirak]

Yes sir it is.

Okie just need to find out nut sizes and can do some design. Running errands so will see what I can come up with this evening.

 

[Snoopy 67]

No worries, thanks.

 

[Shirak]

just an update as I haven't found any nut measurements yet.

 

[Snoopy 67]

OK, no worries, my trip to the source has to be postponed due to a scheduled cataract surgery requiring a Covid test & self quarantine till done.

Shirak,
got the measurements this morning: Actual taken with calipers, nothing added for clearances.
1 inch nut-- 501mm wide & 60mm thick.
1.5 inch nut-- 693mm wide & 92mm thick.
2 inch nut-- 844mm wide & 74mm thick.
Would need 2 pieces of the 1 inch & 1 piece each of the others.
Question, is it possible to offset the handle or the open end upwards roughly 30 degrees?

Do you mean 50.1 and 6.0? millimeters? I think your off by a factor of 10. Interesting. I found an 1" bulkhead and the nut is 52mm but I can use your measurements and just add a mm. 30 degree angle between the junction of the handle and the wrench head should be doable. Let me whip up something rough so we are on the same page.

 

[Snoopy 67]

Had to go look @ calipers. You are correct. These old eyes did not see the decimal point.

 

[Shirak]

Not sure which way you want the offset so I took a couple photos. Rough design atm
First one has the head angled up by 30 degrees. Second has the handle 30 degrees bent but on the same plane as the head.

 

[Snoopy 67]

Was thinking more along the lines of the 1st diagram where the head is angled up.
I am going to trust you on exactly what angle to use. 30 degrees could be too much & I don't have a protractor to double check.
Thanks, Vinny

These for getting into an external overflow that has a rim around the top lip?
