I think there’s cultural difference where the tongue in cheek context has been lost a bit.

They probably use neither 10 full wraps, nor an enraged mountain gorilla, but then I’ve seen stranger things in plumbing.

Except in the next sentence he says that he doesn't really use a gorilla (and that's the bit that's obviously a joke). But he doesn't say he doesn't use 10 wraps.
It’s hard to tell the difference between a frustrated home owner/part time plumber and an enraged silver back I guess.

At least one of them is vegetarian?

In this case, both. Sorry.
The lowland gorilla comes to mind . . .
