It is basically the same as a regular pipe wrench except on the inside. It is sized for the pipe and has a toothed section that grabs when it is turned. You turn it with a wrench or socket. They will not take as much strain as a regular pipe wrench.

How do you get an internal pipe wrench to grab the nipple?
You insert the correct size wrench into the pipe and as you unscrew it, a cam grabs the inside and hopefully unscrews the nipple. It may break also. Most pipes are rusted too tight for an internal pipe wrench to loosen them. What you can do that takes a little time is insert a hacksaw blade in the nipple and cut a notch through the nipple. This relives the pressure on the nipple. Tap around the edge with a screwdriver or chisel and then try the wrench. For extremely rusty pipes, cut the nipple in 3 places and knock out the pieces.
