What about using a pipe? Take a pipe with an I.D. capable of going over an 18" wrench and measure the distance down to the hanging hole at the bottom of the wrench. Drill a hole at that point and through bolt it so you can't lose the wrench. Slide the pipe out to the dry pendent and hook it to loosen. Once you loosen it a little bit you should be able to take it out the rest of the way with a head wrench.

Unfortunately, there is less than 12" clear space above it so no way to get a man above it to wrench the head loose. When we try to remove it with a head wrench, it refuses to budge. If we break the head, we will be up the proverbial creek. Does anyone have any ideas short of disassembling the freezer to change heads? _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
