There is disclosed wellhead apparatus for use in suspending a pipe string within the bore of a housing of the wellhead. The apparatus includes a slip bowl landed on a seat in the bore and a slip assembly supported within the slip bowl in a retracted position which permits the bowl and slip assembly to be lowered into landed position within an annular space between the pipe string and bore of the housing by a series of elongate rods extending within the annular space and adapted, upon rotation in one direction, to force the slip assembly downwardly and inwardly into engagement with the pipe string, and thereby suspend the weight of the pipe string from the slip assembly, and upon rotation in the opposite direction, to permit them to be released from the slip assembly and removed from within the annular space.
