Drop-forged TAPARIA pipe wrenches from 8 to 24 inches — the plumber's and gas-fitter's gripping tool for GI pipe, conduit, and threaded fittings across Northeast India.
The TAPARIA Pipe Wrench is a heavy-duty drop-forged adjustable jaw wrench designed specifically for gripping and turning round pipe, conduit, and threaded fittings. Unlike a spanner that grips flat-sided bolt heads, a pipe wrench's upper jaw is spring-loaded and angled so that torque applied to the handle cams the jaw harder onto the pipe — the more you pull, the tighter it grips. The serrated alloy-steel jaw teeth bite through scale, corrosion, and oil coating on pipe surfaces, making it the practical tool for plumbing, gas-line installation, pump station pipe work, and drainage assembly.
TAPARIA manufactures pipe wrenches across the full trade range — from the 8-inch (200 mm) compact model for tight spaces in domestic plumbing to the 24-inch (600 mm) heavy version used by gas contractors on 3-inch and larger industrial gas lines. Every TAPARIA wrench in this range is drop-forged — not cast — which is the critical quality distinction for a hand tool that must transmit high torque without fracturing. Multi Trade Combines stocks TAPARIA pipe wrenches as an authorised dealer on AT Road, Guwahati.
Licensed plumbers installing water supply systems in apartments and commercial buildings across Guwahati use the 14-inch as the workhorse for GI pipe joints and compression fittings. Gas agencies and LPG line contractors use 18-inch and 24-inch wrenches for connecting POL valves and manifold pipe work at cylinder banks and commercial LPG installations. Industrial maintenance teams at Guwahati's refineries, paper mills, and food-processing units use pipe wrenches on pump suction and discharge piping flanges where conventional spanners cannot grip corroded threaded unions.
Pipe wrenches pair with TAPARIA ring and DE spanners for the bolt work on flanges and clamps, and with LOCTITE thread sealants (Loctite 577 or 55) for leak-free threaded pipe joints. We stock both product families at the same counter for a complete pipe-fitting supply visit.

TAPARIA pipe wrenches have a jaw opening that scales with the wrench length: the 8-inch handles pipe up to 25 mm (1 inch), the 10-inch up to 32 mm (1.25 inch), the 14-inch up to 50 mm (2 inch), the 18-inch up to 65 mm (2.5 inch), and the 24-inch handles pipe up to 90 mm (3.5 inch). For plumbers and gas fitters, the 14-inch is the most versatile general-purpose size. Have two wrenches in the kit — one to hold, one to turn — to prevent the pipe rotating while you work the fitting.
A Stillson wrench and a pipe wrench are the same tool — the Stillson is a trade name from the original patent holder. TAPARIA manufactures to the same functional design: a fixed lower jaw and an adjustable upper jaw with hardened serrated jaws that bite the pipe and tighten under torque. TAPARIA's drop-forged aluminium-alloy construction makes their pipe wrenches lighter than traditional cast-iron designs, reducing user fatigue during extended plumbing or gas-fitting work. TAPARIA is an authorised brand stocked at Multi Trade Combines, Guwahati.
