690 I Handheld Pipe Threading Machine

The Ridgid 690-I is a portable handheld pipe threading machine designed for threading pipe quickly and efficiently on site. Built for professional plumbers and pipefitters, this threader combines power and portability in a durable, user-friendly package that's ideal for installation work, maintenance tasks and site-based threading applications where access to stationary equipment is limited. The machine features a die cast aluminium gear head with permanent greasing for long-term reliability and minimal maintenance. A quick-release system simplifies die head installation and removal, reducing changeover time between threading operations. The 692 support arm incorporates a 2 'V' jaw design that improves pipe grip and enhances safety during operation, whilst the overmoulded handle and contoured grip provide optimal control throughout the threading process. Construction quality is evident throughout, with a durable die cast gear housing and fibreglass-reinforced plastic body ensuring longevity in demanding trade environments. The forward/reverse, on/off two-step momentary contact slide switch offers intuitive operation, allowing precise control during threading. Powered by a universal single-phase 1,020 watt motor running on 110V, the 690-I is suitable for site use with standard 110V transformers commonly found on UK construction sites. The machine comes complete with a comprehensive set of die heads covering 1/2in, 3/4in, 1in, 1 1/4in, 1 1/2in and 2in BSPT 11R sizes, allowing you to tackle a wide range of threading tasks without purchasing additional accessories. A carrying case is included for transport and secure storage between jobs, whilst the ratcheting ring adds versatility to the threading capabilities.
