- Just another 1 man fabrication video guys. You know the usual, working with some 316L socket fittings for a hot condensate drain line. I tried to cramp up info in small bits as much as I can. Hopefully this helps someone. Stay Blessed!

out welding up 1 sch 80 for the first time I learned a lot out in the field, you made me better though. first job never done it, learned as I went. if you want to weld pipe you can gents!
You got this on lock brother. Keep on striving brother. And thank you for dropping by
Dont short yourself, your welds are clean! Also, practice makes perfect. Great Job!!
Thank you
That was a heck of a job, my man! Well done!
Thanks for the positivity brother. Hope you’re well!!
@@VantageWelding absolutely! I'm just learning the trade and love all of the welding videos I can find, yours too! 🤘🏼
Another awesome video buddy 👍! I watched it a couple of times and picked up new tips everytime. Yeah stay hydrated. You don't want to become a heat casualty, your body never gets over it.
Hey wade I appreciate your support and your positive feedback never goes unnoticed. Thank you for being supportive. Really means a lot and motivates me more!
Nice saw , I have the same one ! Love your videos man , out of everyone I watch on TH-cam you immediately made it to my top 5 with your badass work !
That’s awesome bro. I really appreciate your support my man! Really means a lot. Thank you!
Great job bro, pretty straightforward fix
Thanks for watching
excellent video. You definitely have very good skills at fitting and welding!
Thanks brother. Truth be told, I’m pretty average compared to all the traveling journeyman out there. Unfortunately there aren’t many that post their skills and showcase them online!
Some actual helpful footage and not just arc shots🔥🔥🔥 keep it up brooo🦞
Thanks brother. Saludos.
My dream 1 day. Boss thanks for the video. Keep the stainless and aluminum coming
You’ll get there brother. Not a doubt. If that is your true dream, you will achieve it
Keep up the videos man!! I haven’t been as active because it got a little overwhelming but I’m back! 🤘🏽
Glad you’re back homie. Was one of the few channels that I do watch. Lol. Keep grinding cabron. 💯💯💯
bad ass always with a back up plan nice work bro.
Thanks for dropping by again Mr. Ríos.
Love your content bro 🤟🏼
Thanks for the support
Nice work 👍🏼
Thank you brother
Helpful video brotha, thanks
Thanks for watching boss
3:20 you should use the end of the rubber mallet to adjust the elbow or anything else more precisely/wrap electric tape if you're worried bout damaging the wood, since the mallet head's heavier and harder to give light and controlled power,
Dude this video is badass I’m subscribing
Thank you for the support brother. Comments like this really motivates me to keep goin. Thank you for that.
🔥🔥🔥🔥 as always!
Thank you for staying tuned 🔥🔥🔥
jam up welder/fitter 👌🏻 bad ass vid bro always w that 🔥 content
Thank you for the support brother. Really does fuel my drive.
Very inspiring,, good job 👍👍 success
Thanks a lot or your support! means a lot!!
Arre Al 100 Compa! Puro Pa Adelante BadAss
Dope my guy!! 💪🏽🔥
Thanks you brother. Really appreciate your support
I love this video sir❤❤
Thank you brother.
That was interesting!
Hey man love your work. It’s always so simple and as a new welder in the field I appreciate it. What is your welding shield and tig setup ?
Thank you. 30 cfh argon and I run an electric Miller off of 480 brother. Thank you for watching.
Muuuyyyy bien...sl2 desde Galicia España...🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸
Saludos desde Houston Texas primo.
I can tell your working maintenance
Yes sir. 🙌🙌
For plumbing fitting to fitting in the shop I use a piece of large channel and a block of cold rolled square stock. It saves a ton of time fitting and we all know stainless is gonna draw some no matter what you do! Sometimes good enough is better when it is quicker.. No disrespect just sharing something that shaves time for me!
That’s awesome brother. But it didn’t take me long to build. 10 hrs for a one man show is enough. Plus we aren’t in a hurry here ever. I’m in my office 1/3 of the day 😂 but thank you for your knowledge. Very informative. Thank you for stopping by boss. I’d like to see a picture of what you’re talking about. I honestly can’t picture it.
How long will it take you to build this?
@@VantageWelding I build something that is very similar to that. It has 26 or 28 welds to make. I work a 9 hour shift. I build 2 when I am slow, 3 is a good day and 4 is tops. But there are about 3 variants of it and I have been working in the same work center for 15 years... I know exactly what order I am going to sub assemble everything in. I spend very little time on fit up and I am welding on a positioner. Not really a very fair comparison!
@@timebert6141 that’s super fast. I hope they are paying your worth.
@@VantageWelding I just use a long flat piece of c channel on top my welding bench. I then set a piece of hot rolled 4X4 on top the c channel. Then I have a flat bottom and straight side to push the fittings down on the plate and up against the block. That hold everything level fitting to fitting and straight in line. Clamps will fit over the block to hold parts when necessary. I also cheat and use expansion/contraction rings to set my depth of engagement.
Did good...
Thank you
Why people haven’t adopted the use of Gap-O-Let spacers is beyond me! Dow went to those spacers 30 + years ago and they are required in all socket welding specs for the company.
😂😂😂😂 did you not see how easy that was?
I never understood the spacing tool for an o let.
Sure, I know exactly how easy it was because I used the same method many times but you need to see how fast & easy a Gap-O-Let is! You now the head space it gives so your pipe cuts are always accurate. Perfect head space gap every time when used and it ensures measurements are correct with a proper head space. The Gap-O-Lets are far superior to the old cardboard spacers because those you could crush during fit-up, can’t crush the Gap-O-Lets. Since Dow at one time used few socket weld fittings I was there when the switch to them occurred. Since relatively new to use(socket fittings), Dow fitters and contractor fitters forgot/neglected to allow for a head space during fitup partly do to poor/no training and human nature-forgetfulness! The Gap-O-Lets allowed welding inspectors to verify there was head space.
😂😂😂 good deal budd
Nice!! What amperage were you welding at from the first pass to the second and how would you weld those sockets without pulling too much like 6to3 and 6 to9 or just from 6 to 12
100 amps. I’d quarter the whole pipe which means welding inverse of whatever heater you start with. So if you start from 12-3 the second pass would be from 6 to 9, so on and so forth. Heat travels in the direction of your travel, and that’s where it usually pulls towards!! Hope this helps.
thanks for the video. so just to clarify, when you're cutting your end to end pieces you cut them about 1/4 inch short to make up for the 1/8 you're pulling the fitting back on both sides?
I’d have to rewatch the video bud. But yes. You have to account for all the take offs and sometimes account to weld shrinkage as well. It all depends on your tolerance limit and WPS.
I’m curious why you had 1” take off when the blue book says 7/8” for 1” pipe. Thanks just trying to learn it all
7/8” plus 1/8” expansion gap. Without the expansion gap the pipe will not be able to expand and contract freely causing welds to fail.
CUUH 👍
Great practical knowledge! Thanks for sharing. Done subscribed! Sending the vid to my 15 year old son. The boy likes to burn rod! I tell him need to practice your math Son!
Thank you for sharing boss. Welding is an awesome trade but when you pair it with fabrication, it becomes a lot more fun.
If you can't measure and do math then you aint no real welder. Math measuring and geometry is what makes the welder . I seen some guys that can weld perfect but their crappy measuring screws em up big-time
@@VantageWelding fabrication is more fun than pipelining that for sure. Lot more skill involved.
He’ll yeah. My favorite. I love fab.
@@johndowe7003 that’s what my dad always said. He wanted me to learn to fit structural before I took off in the welding world. I love my dad for dad.
What about the 4 ft elevation? Doesn’t that need to be subtracted with the overall?
The 4’ IS THE overall
That a fresh new blade? I do sanitary and contamination on stainless is real but with steam lines I guess you dont really care about it. Anyways, I'm Subscribed, have a good one. I also 3 pass all my sockets, weld all the way to the edge, leaving bout 1/16th.
Thanks for watching
You ever consider buying a small welding positioner? Nothing like a 4 jaw chuck to throw something into concentric
I’ve been procrastinating on building me a roll out wheel with a chuck. I gave mine away when I sold my rig truck. I’m going to order the parts when I get to work, and build one. That should be a cool video as well. Thanks for giving me the idea brother.
Do you mark it with a pencil to add carbon to your weld?
Busted 😓😂😂😂
My bad 🤐
Hey boss they don’t say anything about contamination on the vise to the stainless they always taught me to tape the vise or chain vises?
Yes it’s a bad practice brother. But since I work in a Chloralkali unit it will Rust up eventually no matter what. Definitely a “how not to clamp it” lol 😂 it will be fine though. The atmosphere is saline and really corrosive. Specially to carbon steel and aluminum. Thanks for watching.
Very good observation.
Enjoy watching your videos keep up the good content!
@@mikez8404 thanks for the support brother.
Don’t cap on your welds?! Man I wish my welds looked half as good, lol
Thank you boss
A videos en español porfa
Lo intente brother. Pero nadie los veía. 🥺 yo empecé haciendo en español y inglés. Pero Inafortunadamente no funcionó!!
Not bad for a junk yard welder.
That’s what I keep saying 😂😂

Nice brother. Thanks for stopping by anyhow. Be safe out there
Are you telling it's "pup" piece and not "puff" piece? Learn something new every day..
