Question 3272 Deck General

The correct answer is B) chain tongs. Chain tongs are a tool used for turning pipe or fittings that are too large in diameter to be effectively gripped by a standard pipe wrench. The chain tongs consist of a handle and a releasable chain that can be wrapped around the pipe or fitting to provide the necessary grip and leverage for turning. This makes chain tongs the appropriate tool for this application, as they are specifically designed for handling larger diameter pipes and fittings. The other options are incorrect because: A) makeup tongs are used for making up or breaking out threaded pipe connections, C) pipe spinners are used for rotating pipes but do not have a releasable chain, and D) breakout wrenches are typically used for disassembling connections, not for turning larger pipes and fittings.
