Anyone know what this pipe is for?

Found this pipe in a box of brew gear that I bought used. It is about 8 inches long and one end is cut in a hexagon shape. Any one know what this would be used for?

is it for installing a sink faucet? Looks similar to a piece that came with the kitchen faucet i just installed.

Looks site a custom wrench of sorts. You'd put a bar through the hole for leverage and the hexagonal part over a nut.

Best guess...

It's a faucet wrench, exactly. Plumbing tool got tossed in the brewing box.

By any chance would it fit over a keg post or is it the wrong size?

Or maybe for removing keg posts. I have a similar wrench that I slotted on the corners to get out pinlock posts.

Spark plug wrench.

Spark plug wrench.

That was my first thought too. Looks to be the right size from the onboard tool kit in a seadoo.

This sounds like the voice of experience!

It's a wrench. I've seen similar for spark plugs. The faucet wrench I own is nothing like it. The size is too small for most faucet fittings I think.

Perhaps the original owner used it for posts? It could be a handy item to have.

Honestly, it looks like it is for unscrewing the breach plug from a muzzleloader. Mine looks identical.

Came in to post this...

Keg post wrench.

It's a "stem wrench", for removing stem from a faucet, for re-packing, or "cone washer" replacement.

Before the days of cartridge type faucets, and non- replaceable faucet innards.
