2. Without the proper alignment, a quality
pipe job cannot be completed. A
pipefitters square is built uniquely for a
pipefitter and comes in a size that will fit
best.
1. PIPEFITTERS
SQUARE
A standard angle that pipes are usually bent to at their source is either 45°
or 90°. Certain jobs require different angles and that’s why a pipefitter
square may be necessary for the job.

3. Even the slightest error in piping can
cause a leak. A welders’ gauge tool is
used before a pipe fitting job to
determine the pipe material, quality of
the pipe, and dimensions. It can also
double-check alignment after a fitting
job is complete.

4. 3. FITTER GRIPS
To help multitask, a fitter grip holds
two pipes while pipes are welded
together. Fitter grips can also be used
when welding a pipe to a joint. This
tool is essential to allow a pipefitter to
work hands-free!

5. Next, there is a centering head, a tool used to
create angles and points on a pipe. It’s often
used to find centerlines on a pipe, including
the top dead center or bottom dead center.
Pipefitters can use this tool for a necessary
step of precision marking.

6. 5. PIPE WRAPS
Lastly, there are pipe wraps! This tool is a lot
like it sounds, a tool used to mark pipes before
cutting. The wrap is put around the pipe and all
edges are perfectly aligned where the wrap
overlaps itself. Pipefitters then draw a line
around the pipe with a soapstone which
ensures a straight cut on the pipe.
