    Please restrict this video to welders only! DO NOT allow supervisors, plumbers/fitters to see this. Otherwise we’ll be getting these gaps more than we already are.
    Thank you.

    I’m a pipe fitter pre apprentice. Our shop had to extend 3, 28 1/2” manhole pieces by 18” using 24” schedule 40 pipe for our plumbers at one of our sites. The manhole was supposed to be 24” diameter but it ended up measuring to 23 1/4”. Foreman had us cut the manhole and then cut the 24” pipe down the length of it so it split, then cut a chunk out, close it with a chain come along, slide the manhole pieces over it, before finally taking off the come along and tacking and welding all said and done once the pieces where fitted up the gap ended up being 1 1/2”. We had three man hole pieces to extend and after the first one had been welded and the other 2 fitted the foreman came out and told us the plumbers were fine in the future with us not matching the Diameter up so long as they still bolted up fine, so hindsight 20/20 but all hands on get we got all three fully welded and ready to be painted by the end of the day

    Excellent explanation with all the important detailed tips that I've never heard before. Freezing the filler for the feeding is the first time I hear of this trick. Thank you sir. 👍

  • @weldtechsolutions
    @weldtechsolutions Před 2 lety +1

    Nice job buddy that’s one hell of a gap! Quick question if this was going to be X-rayed I would apply a post gas instead of pulling off so fast to minimise any chance on internal defects.

  • @mrr7870

  • @Ghis1964s
    @Ghis1964s Před 2 lety +1

    I'm follow almost this same procedure when fixing/welding some agri-machine or else. Except I'm running MIG .035 solid-wire 85-95amps (adjust your feeder to fit the demand/amps), and I'm filling and capping as I go, any all position (any all Gs required to weld in place).
    If a fluxcore machine is available (with core-shield gas incorporated wired, ALONG with a gas-bottle) then it's even better, and way way way faster ;)

    What is the biggest gap for joints/ what is the maximum allowable clearance according to the standards?

    • @danl.4743
      @danl.4743 Před 2 lety +2

      He wrote it in the video. 1/2" maximum according the the code.
