Hi man. People assume pipe fitting is easy. Mostly it's confused with plumbing

It's a good refresher if you don't do much of this at work.

How much money can a pipe fitter earn

@@abenzenjoyment3183 depends where you are and what company, where I'm at they make 34 hr and 100 perdiem every day, but work 6 days out of the week 10 hour shifts, 20 hours OT plus 600 perdiem for the 6 days.

@@Ctrl-Alt-Elite YES

Totally awesome fit up..... More please.

👏👏

That fitter needs to go back to school

They probably are nothing like that in real life honestly i know theyre not based off every welder and fitter ive worked with being in the union

A shop / field welder? Lol where im from those are 2 polar opposites

Field welders are good in every position angle and weld in many bad uncomfortable areas where as shop welders either weld in jack stands or use a roller lol which takes alot less skill

lol I was just thinkin that

Yeah I seen that also

Jackson yea,you know what I hate is when I'm laying something out using the one inch Mark and make my part of parts forgetting to drop and inch. Done that a few times for sure

His welder should have called him out happens to the best of fitters

i think bro is kinda nervous being on camera and all haha

Pro tip to find the take off for a long radius 90 if you don’t know already. Multiply your pipe diameter by 1.5. I’d recommend getting a pipe trade pro calculator as well. That thing has so many different functions on it.

this is where your browser coockies kick in.

Something is better than nothing, Thanks to the guys who share their experience and knowledge. Remember technology is always getting advance day by day.

Knowledge is power..make batagor so easy😂

@Will Swift in the UK?

Lol yes in the real world most welders wouldn't want to work with this guy

Damn bro I wouldn’t be bragging this guy kind of sucks by how he got the first 90 I saw he didn’t know what he was doing.

@@JavierAldoMacedo He says he has 10 years experience. Where I come from it looks like about a week and he doesn’t do it right. He also said flanges weld up to another piece of pipe🤣😂🥲

@@BDE360 exactly I wouldn’t wanna work with a fitter like that if i was the welder

He tacked the flange on the inside, should have been the outside ... no roll out welds? and it’s a raised face not razorfaced . They bolt up ,they aren’t “welded “ to pumps or other flanges .

That pipe fighter would have to weld too . He'd work a welder like dumbass Victor to death. My grandma could fit better than that she was blind in one eye and couldn't see how the other

Except for the fact he thinks it’s a razor face, and how he has his welder tack the wrong side of the flange…

@@frankie9660 I noticed that too. And who builds carbon steel pipe assemblies with Tig? Ain't nobody got time for that. Bro needs to bust out with some .045 fluxcore. lol

Looked at 7:24 and with my eyes it is touching both sides, just have to look real close with the video frozen.

Only thing I’ll say is at around 21 minutes I would’ve checked the vertical level in that flange and matched it with that other pup piece

Except he dont know what a flange face is called lol razor face? Think he was thinking of a razor sharp bevel and face is raised face

They were doing a good job showing how to read and lay out a run. They did not show having to grind out the tack at 21.33 if they did not catch their mistake before tacking it. You are right it should have been tacked on the other side first. Some welder and fitter that work shut downs at oil refineries travel in pairs because they know how to work together to get the work done. The powers to be at a oil refinery I worked at for 32 years decided to cut the fitters pay to save money. One welder/fitter team that worked our S/D for maybe 12 years along with other welder/fitters teams did not show up for the S/D. The S/D ran long and the powers to be could not understand why it ran long because of the piping crews fell behind??????? Good pipe welding and fitting teams can always find work, you don't screw with one or the others pay and expect to get production. Bean counters are a dime a dozen, always trying to cut someone else pay to make them look good. Then they decided to cut the pipe welders pay also. Then the shit really hit the fan, pipe welders that could not go without busting weld x-rays that meant we had to go back and x-ray every weld they made on the S/D plus clearing all workers out of the x-ray shots areas. we went from working two 12 hour shifts for everyone to working two 10 hour shifts to get all the extra x-rays in. You get what you pay for. Just glad I am retired now and don't have to answer to bean counters!!!

I’m a fitter and one of my good friends is my foreman a lot on jobs and when we got to a town we were working in last year we were kinda drunk cleaning out our toolboxes, and decided to check the level on all the stair rails and handrails, the floor of the hotel bedroom, inside cabinetry, walls ect! Lmao! Upstairs and downstairs bedrooms floors all were almost a whole bubble out slipping down to the door to go outside the motel. Our only hypothesis was that it did that if a sprinkler in the room went off because of fire, water would flow right out the door to outside (motel) instead of sitting still on bedroom floor and destroying floor beneath it or downstairs the walls around the room if it wasn’t sloped. Our drunk asses really thought we figured out some coool ass engineering shit that night all proud of ourselves! 🤦🏻‍♀️

I wouldn’t say he missed that, I mean it is a vid on how to FIT a spool, we don’t need to see how to WELD out a soool do we?
