Questions and Answers for RIDGID 700 Power Drive Compact Handheld Heavy-Duty Pipe Threading Machine for 12-R Die Heads (Tool Only)

A:  The 700 pd produces 250 ft/lbs of torque which is what is required to thread a 2" piece of pipe.

A:  Hello, yes, the die heads used with the 700 will thread schedule 80 pipe. The O.D. of schedule 80 carbon steel pipe is identical to standard schedule 40 pipe. Since only the outer diameter of the pipe is threaded, the heavier wall will not be a problem.

A:  Hi Arth, For 1.5" stainless steel you will use High Speed, SS dies with a 12R DieHead: The dies are part number 37935. Thanks for choosing Ridgid!

A:  The original 700 and the 700T2 only have a difference in the field, power cord and motor shroud on the inside. When the plastic shroud and field were changed the 700 became the 700 T2. the 700 has a field locking screw that is on the outside of the 700 while the 700 T2 has 2 screws on the inside that hold the field in place. 700 T2 is the current version that is produced and the 700 is the older version. The naming has nothing to do with voltage.

A:  Hi, the difference is the voltage and amp draw. For use in the US, you will want option #1, part #41935.

A:  Hi, for the complete set, part #45178, this retails for around $3,500 USD. Please reach out to a distributor in your area for exact pricing.
