Description A.Y. McDonald Well Pipe Holder for Well Casing & Safe Drop Pipe Removal The Professional's Choice for Safe Drop Pipe Handling When you're pulling or setting a drop pipe in a well casing, control matters. The A.Y. McDonald Pipe Holder (SKU 6814-110) is a purpose-built well casing pipe holder designed to sit directly on top of the well casing, giving installers and service technicians a secure, hands-free grip on steel drop pipe during pump installations and removals. This is not a makeshift solution. It is a dedicated drop pipe removal tool engineered for the job - the kind of equipment professional well drillers and pump service contractors rely on when working with 1", 1¼", 1½", and 2" steel drop pipe. Who This Is For This tool is built for professionals working in the field — not homeowners doing a one-time DIY repair. If you are a well drilling contractor, pump service technician, or plumbing supply house stocking service equipment, this is the pipe holder your crew will reach for on every submersible pump pull. At 25 lbs, it is substantial enough to handle the load of suspended steel drop pipe without shifting on the casing, and the complete assembly means there is nothing to source separately- it arrives ready to work.

Once clamped, the pipe holder keeps the drop pipe secure and positioned at the well casing opening, freeing up your hands and reducing the risk of the pipe dropping down the casing during service calls. It sets on top of the well casing - no permanent mounting, no modification to the casing required. That means faster setup on site and faster teardown when the job is done.

The adjustable jaw design accommodates all four sizes without needing separate attachments or adapters, making it a versatile tool for well service contractors working across different well configurations. 2. How does the pipe holder attach to the well casing? The pipe holder sets directly on top of the well casing - no drilling, no permanent mounting, and no modification to the casing required.

The A.Y. McDonald 6814-110 is designed for both setting and pulling drop pipe. During installation, it holds the pipe steady at the casing opening while the pump and pipe string are lowered. During service calls, it secures the drop pipe when pulling the submersible pump for inspection or replacement. 4. Is this a complete assembly or do additional parts need to be purchased separately? This is a complete assembly. Everything needed to use the pipe holder on the job is included out of the box. There are no additional components to source separately, which is why it is a preferred stocking item for pump service contractors and well drilling supply houses. 5. How much weight can the pipe holder safely support? The tool itself weighs 25 lbs and is built for professional field use with steel drop pipe.
