Pipe pliers are a common hand tool mainly used to clamp pipes or fittings for disassembly, repair or installation. Different types of pipes and fittings may require different models of pipe wrench. Here are some common pipe wrench models:
1. Straight-mouth pipe wrench: Also known as ordinary pipe wrench, it is a common pipe tool suitable for clamping round pipes and pipe fittings. Its clamping mouth is straight and can clamp pipes of different sizes.
2. Bayonet type pipe wrench: also called barb type pipe wrench, suitable for clamping irregularly shaped pipes and fittings. Its clamping mouth is a V-shaped barb that can clamp the raised part of the pipe.
3. Elbow type pipe pliers: suitable for clamping curved pipes and fittings. Its clamping mouth is curved to adapt to the curved shape of the pipe.
4. Wrench-type pipe pliers: Also called pipe wrenches, they can clamp pipes and threaded joints, and can both clamp and rotate. Its clamp is shaped like a wrench and can rotate pipes and joints in different directions.
