A pipe hitch is a hitch-type knot used to secure smooth cylindrical objects,[2] such as pipes, poles, beams, or spars. According to The Ashley Book of Knots, a pipe hitch is "used to lower a pipe or hoist one"[1] and as "another method of tying to a rectangular timber."[3]
The pipe hitch will not slip when tied correctly to a pipe or pole. This knot is a variation of the Round turn and two half-hitches.[4][5] This knot can be used with a rope to pull a pipe or spar out of the ground,[6] or to hoist a pipe or beam.

The pipe hitch is started by wrapping four or more coils around a pipe or pole. It is finished by tying the working end around the standing part with a clove hitch,[1] and less commonly with a cow hitch or a buntline hitch.
