Complete Guide to Black Iron Pipe Fittings - Gear Up With Gregg's

[@JtotheRizzo]

Found this video searching for information for black iron pipe for natural gas installation in a residential home. I was always confused as Home Depot here in the States sells both Black "Iron" and Black "Steel" fittings and I never knew if you could mix the 2. Never realized Black "Iron" is not really iron and is really steel. Glad I found this video - even 4 years after it was uploaded! Thanks for the information!

[@jpschaefer]

[@barkinmarmot2946]

Thank you, very informative. I enjoyed the heavy guitar riffs too!

[@Broski2322]

Old school iron ! Boss white and hemp ! Can't go wrong ! We use it on all propper commercial heating systems/ steam /gas in schools hospitals you name it here in the UK ! Last a lifetime and 100 times better than any mappress installation ! Takes longer to install but much better job

[@carladee2736]

I would have liked to All the different fittings, is there a poster or page of some sort?

[@mrbigcat9]

I do both pipe sealant and Teflon tap?

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

Adding pipe sealant with tape allows for added protection from leaks. Pipe sealant will fill any of the gaps that were missed by the tape. Check out our selection of Pipe Sealant here greggdistributors.ca/adhesives-sealants-and-tape/Thread-and-Gasket-Sealants/Pipe-Sealant?resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties

[@kevinbezanson8342]

So are malleable iron fittings cast or forged?

[@pixiepaws99]

They're cast.

[@John-ev3rm]

Are designated diameters OD or ID , need to know to match existing pipes.

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

Hello John, black pipe is measured using the O.D. of the pipe.

[@carladee2736]

No one has explained things good. Ty

[@Tenzinpatriotic]

What is the method to take out expando joint black pipes with fitting?

[@unapologeticallycreative8365]

What is the best way to enlarge the opening in an 1 1/2 in Tee (black iron fitting)?

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

As far as we are aware, there is no way to stretch/flare a threaded Schedule 40 black pipe nipple. What you would need to do is to utilize either a bushing or a reducer, you would just need to determine if you want female or male thread. If you want to see the range of products we have available, you can see it here: greggdistributors.ca/search?q=U10&resp_group=Default,Variations,ItemProperties&page_size=8&view=list&terms=CatPage:U10

[@normalhuman9260]

Where I am from,you are forbidden to use a bushing style. Only bell style allowed.

[@avinashsukumar]

Please make a video on metric pipe thread parallel and taper.

[@GreggDistributorsLP]

We have several videos that we think you would find useful: BSPT, BSPP, and DIN. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zn60eWB8ZqaGnq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/raPCgH-AjNiDsLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn6xYZlunNqkpNU

I want to work with you

[@zm3111]

lol

[@davidmathes6730]

I prefer Pipe dope, over tape any day, I wear cut resistant skin tight rubber gloves, because yellow pipe dope is hella messy and once on your hands then you touch dirt, then you have black hands for the next day or two haha. The tape is a total pain in the rear especially in tight areas, you get it wrapped backwards and DO OVER! Hahaha. I wear super tight black gloves, just in case a pipe has a nasty burr, I've been cut pretty bad before on pipe thread, aslo the yellow pipe dope gets all over the gloves, I just throw them away and put on new, I have an entire box in my truck.

[@nealjt13]

Both dope and tape. Thin layer of Dope over the tape

[@alandyfilsgodla5149]

I want to see a new video ✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥

[@harrishawker1]

My fitting are very tight and dont screw on but a few threads

[@metallicafreak13]

Adjust your die every so slightly down and re cut and re thread pipe again and dial it down to 2 1/2 hand turns

[@pixiepaws99]

Apply more force. Pipe threads are meant to take quite a bit of torque to seal properly. The threads will deform ever so slightly and that is normal.

[@lar4305]

I never use tape on its own, i always use pipe dope with it.

[@nealjt13]

Same

[@normalhuman9260]

I assume tape on male,dope on the female?

[@kevinspellman2124]

Npt thread type

[@AlessioSangalli]

Steel is made like 98% of iron...

[@davidschinsing8789]

Still... something's got to be called "steel."

[@leebrand2172]

I still use hemp 😂

[@deborahskeete]

In America I believe the¹y use iron pipe or forge steel pipe. If the pipe is rusting internally as water is passing through is there anything you can use to stop this.

[@jamesanderson9453]

use galvinized steel pipe

[@DanL57]

Why the annoying rock background music?

[@stroys7061]

Most annoying thing on KZbin!! Why do people think they need to add crappy music that just makes it harder to hear their message,

[@stroys7061]

Subject looked interesting, but I stopped watching at 1:43 because I can’t stand the crappy music. If you release a version of this video w/o the background noise I would watch. Til then I’m gone.

[@StallionFernando]

Nobody cares, you're that special.

[@aros007z]

Story’s- bye now!
